The Playground Amateur Radio Club is proud to announce this years winner for Ham of The Year! Traditionally awarded at the famed Holiday Party, The winner this year will be traveling for the holidays. So we made the decision to award and present at the Business Meeting!
Meet Zach, KR4FWK!
Zach recently joined the Playground Amateur Radio Club and ever since, he, just like many others, keyed the mic from the start! Zach is an avid experimenter in communications! He consistently strives to improve his station and share his experiences with others! Zach also participates in multiple Club functions and leads by example often teaching his lessons to other new operators and those interested in amateur radio! Zach also has been a regular on a multitude of frequencies, answering the call while testing out his experiments for other operators to advise on signal reports and offering insight on what to do to improve communications capabilities in the area! If you are at the Playground, on the repeaters, on the air or even an event, be sure to congratulate Zach on his achievement!
Zach’s selection was as a result of polling in the club and recording the votes. This year a large thank you goes out to Rey, KM4DYA for his contribution to transform a Eimac Tube into a desk lamp! Thank you Rey for taking an idea, and making it a reality setting the standard to be followed for years to come!
Honorable mentions that were close in the running this year include (in no particular order):
KQ4FRB, KQ4ATC, AA0EU, NC4MR, KK4SSM, and KQ4YXY.
