Dave Littlejohn, N9FMD |
| Our 2001 amateur of the year shares many of the same
outstanding traits of each of our eight nominees. Active in
kids day, a leader in annual field day operations. This nominee has
held various club offices and continues to develop novice classes and exam
sessions. Politically, this active ham has not only taken the
story of amateur radio to city leaders but has solicited the support of
congressional representatives as well.
Over several years,, our outstanding ham has shown great interest in emergency communications. This has led to involvement in groups like ARES, Skywarn, the American Red Cross, Salvation Army and the Civil Air Patrol. Our outstanding amateur of the year has arranged direct radio contact with the local sheriff department during severe weather. During his 39-years as an amateur radio operator he has continually worked behind the scenes to promote amateur radio and to increase its effectiveness in service to the community. Earlier this year, he was honored with the coveted Brentlinger award, given by the Wabash Valley Amateur Radio Association. It is these accomplishments and many others that
brings us to this moment as we proudly present the 2001 IRCC Outstanding
Amateur of the Year Award to David Littlejohn--N9FMD.
