Last chance to nominate for Siemens Radio Amateur of the Year awards

The closing date for the Siemens Radio Amateur of the Year Awards is 1 August 2005. There are two categories a junior category for a person under 25 and a senior category.

The Junior Award is bestowed on a young Radio Amateur, under the age of 25 years, who has excelled in promoting and developing the Amateur Service amongst his or her peer group. The candidate must have displayed initiative and good sportsmanship, with exemplary operation on the Amateur bands amongst peers.

The senior award is bestowed for the support and development of the Amateur Radio Service in South Africa, not for individual achievements such as DXCC and other operational awards or contests. The recipient will be a person who has given of his or her expertise and time to the promotion and/ or technical enhancement of Amateur Radio in South Africa.

It seems ironical that there is a reluctance to nominate people for the award. There is so much talent amongst South African Radio Amateurs both young and old that the mailbox should be overflowing with nominations.

Full details can be found on www.amateurradio.org.za. Nominations should be mailed to saardt@intekom.co.za or
P O box 90438, Garsfontein 0042.
