Friday Banquet
The Friday evening banquet speaker was Valerie Hotzfeld N9VL. Valerie’s a regular on the Ham Nation podcast and is from Central Illinois. Valerie did a great job with her presentation “Amateur Radio: It’s more than a hobby”, and it was great to meet her, and her husband Jerry Rosalius WB9Z. This year we had a 30% increase in attendance. Again, this was a great place to visit with fellow hams and visit with the state, and local ARRL leadership present.
Congratulations to Coy Day N5OK for receiving an ARRL Director Emeritus award. This prestigious award was presented by Kevin O’Dell N0IRW on behalf of the ARRL Board of Directors.
And, congratulations to Paula Sieber AD5VL who was awarded an A-1 Operator at the Banquet. This award is presented to operators based on ‘On-Air’ performance. This is a group of about 6,000 operators world-wide.
After the banquet was the Wouff Hong ceremony for about 30 ARRL members. Plan to attend this banquet next year!
