Sir Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill Fellowship awarded for Amateur radio study in the US and UK

In memory of Winston Churchill, the Churchill Trust was established in 1965 and annually awards Fellowships for overseas studies in areas where benefit to Australia is a significant factor.

The subject areas are broad but this year one has been awarded to Mike Harris (VK7ACQ, G0HOC, KB2SED) for a study of complimentary use of HF and Internet technologies in the US and UK

With the imminent changes to the amateur radio licence that Australia is about to introduce, there is are exciting opportunities for Australian amateurs to become involved in activities that though long established in other countries have not been possible here.

The main objective of his study will be to produce an educative report providing broad evidence, experiences and information on these activities. Its aim will be to convey a range of activities in which amateurs can be involved particularly those that help serve and support wider communities.
