WE NEED YOUR HELP
I am once again looking for nominations for a variety of awards to be presented at our annual Nebraska ARRL Hamvention. Please email back to me at [email protected] with your nomination. Cutoff is April 30th
Nebraska Ham of the Year. Any male ham radio operator age 18 or older as of 12/31/2025. A ham who has made contributions to the art of Amateur Radio in the State of Nebraska.
Nebraska YL Ham of the Year. Any female ham radio operator age 18 or older as of 12/31/2025. A ham who has made contributions to the art of Amateur Radio in the State of Nebraska.
Young Ham of the Year. Open to any ham radio operator male or female and is 18 years of age or younger as of 12/31/2025. For their contributions to the art of Amateur Radio in the State of Nebraska.
Gwen Anderson KØGAA Memorial Award. For the individual who does a lot of the behind the scenes work and doesn't seek any recognition. This person would be the glue to an event and makes sure it goes off without a hitch. This can be a ham or non-ham who has helped a club or event succeed behind the scenes.
Skip Miller WØKVM Lifetime Achievement Award. For the ham radio operator who has been licensed for a least 25 years as of 12/31/2025. Who has contributed a lifetime of experience to the art and preservation of Amateur Radio. Who has made a positive impact to the hobby in the State of Nebraska and abroad.
Special Services Award. This is for the person(s) who make an impact in the community. And they just happen to be a ham radio operator. It isn't necessarily because of their ham radio skills, but rather that they make an impact in their community. And because they are a ham, they may be recognized for their efforts. Think of any volunteers to other organizations where they have made a positive impact.
