Nomination Guidelines
Each year the Umpqua Valley ARC honors one member with the Ham-of-the-Year Award. This is our opportunity to recognize and honor one of these unsung heroes. All it takes is some thought and a short letter to the selection committee.
This award is based on someone who:
- is an “ideal ham”.
- promotes amateur radio and uses good operating practices.
- does more than asked.
- works quietly in the background.
- is always there when needed.
