For the last few years we have been giving a SOTA AWARD to the person who the MT thinks has made an outstanding contribution to SOTA during the year. The award is sponsored by Richard G3CWI, co-creator of the SOTA Award Program and owner of SOTABEAMS.
As usual there are more possible winners than awards and after much discussion the MT has decided that this year’s winner is Sylvia OE5YYN in recognition of all the time and effort she put into updating and re-validating the Austrian Association. Sylvia’s prize is a £50 credit at the SOTABEAMS store.
Please join me in congratulating Sylvia and thanking her for all her work this year.
This has come as a big surprise! I can hardly believe that SOTA has become such a big part of my life. However, I must also stress that I would have been lost without the help of some region managers and Martin OE5REO, Martin OE3VBU and Fred OE8FNK in particular.
Thank you so much everybody!!
Happy New Year!
