IRCC ACCEPTING NOMINATIONS FOR
2010 Outstanding Amateur of the Year

Nominations are being accepted for the 2010 IRCC Outstanding Amateur of the Year Award. Each year the Indiana Radio Club Council selects an outstanding Amateur Radio Operator from the nominations received. This Year’s award will be presented during the November 13-14, 2010 Fort Wayne, Hamfest, at the IRCC Forum. Nominations must be received by e-mail no later than October 1, 2010. Past winners are not eligible for this award, however, that does not exclude them from being nominated. All nominees will be honored.

Nominees are judged by their dedication to amateur radio as a hobby, and as a public service instrument. Some of the qualities the IRCC is looking for include, on the air activities, such as; net participation, skywarn, ARES, RACES, and other public service operations. Other qualities are participation as a Ham Radio Mentor or Instructor, club or organization involvement, forum presenter, speaker, Volunteer Examiner, and recruiter of new Hams, especially, our much needed younger generation. Please include as many details as possible about the above activities in your nomination.

Please, when receiving this announcement, forward it to other Hams that you know in the state that may be interested or that belong to clubs or organizations the IRCC has not been able to contact. Pass it around; it is a great chance to recognize the very best of our own Ham Radio Community.

Nominees need not be associated with an IRCC member club, any other Ham Radio club or organization, or the ARRL. Any Ham in the state of Indiana is eligible for this award.

Nomination requirements:

• Submit as much detail about this person as possible.

Every club, whether a member of the IRCC or not, is invited to have one or
