>> Each year the Dayton Hamvention (http://www.hamvention.org/) recognizes
> three
> amateurs for their outstanding contributions to the amateur radio field.
To
> quote their web site, "Do you know an outstanding amateur in your club,
> community, or from on-the-air contacts? Does this person excel in some
> phase of amateur radio? Do you feel this person deserves world-wide
> recognition"?
>> One of the awards, the "Special Achievement" award, we think should go to
Al
> Waller, K3TKJ, the owner and founder of Qsl.net and Qth.net. Why nominate
> Alan Waller, K3TKJ for the 2002 Dayton Hamvention Special Achievement
award?
> The Qsl.net domain was created by Alan in the winter of 1996 as a free
> service to amateur operators around the world. Al did this to give
> back something to a hobby that has meant so much to him over the past 40
> years.
>> Qsl.net, with the later additions of Qth.net, Swl.net, and dx.qsl.net, has
> grown by word of mouth to be the largest site devoted totally to Amateur
> Radio on the Internet. Qsl.net now receives over one millions hits per
day
> and there are 69,000 individual and club web pages hosted on the system.
> There are over one million emails handled daily for the 135,000 hams with
> @qsl.net email addresses. QTH.NET is the host for more than 900 email
> reflector groups that are used by 400,000 people.
>> This was, and still is, a hobby for Al, with much of the operating expense
> coming out of his own pocket. A small percentage of the users now
> contribute to the annual budget of over 25,000ドル
>> What Alan Waller has given to the radio hobby is priceless. His unfailing
> devotion, unbelievable generosity and love of Amateur Radio is deserving
of
> being nominated for the Special Achievement award. While others may have
> done something more spectacular, nobody has done anything that has helped
> so many in the world of radio ever before in this planet's history.
> So we ask you, please nominate Alan Waller, K3TKJ for the Special
> Achievement
> award, and let him know much we all appreciate his gift to Amateur Radio.
>> The web site for making nominations is:
>> http://www.hamvention.org/nominate.htm

his
> wife, Denise <grin>
