Nominations for the Radio Amateur
Of The Year awards invited
The South African Amateur Radio Development Trust and Siemens Telecommunications
invite nominations for the 2004 Siemens Radio Amateur of the Year Awards.
There are two categories in which to nominate persons who have made a
major contribution to Amateur Radio in South Africa. They are the Radio
Amateur of the Year Award and the Young Radio Amateur of the Year Award.
The first category is an open one while the second category is limited
to nominees under 25 years of age. The winners will each receive a cash
prize of R1000 and a certificate. Winners outside the Gauteng area will
be provided with a return air ticket and accommodation.
The awards are recognising technical innovation and the promotion and
development of Amateur Radio. Activities such as arranging a public event
or a DXpedition qualify for nomination. However, the awards are not made
for personal achievements such as winning a contest or a DXCC.
To get nomination forms send an email to saardt@intekom.co.za.
Nominations close on 30 September 2004. Nomination forms are available
for down load from the new SA Amateur Radio Development Trust Website
at www.amateurradio.org.za.
