4th Annual Kilowatt Club "Ham of the Year" for 2025 -

4th Annual Kilowatt Club “Ham of the Year” for 2025
In Recognition of Outstanding Achievement
Ham of the Year Award
Presented to
Gary, KF0NXN
We first met Gary a few years ago when he joined us to earn his Technician license. He quickly embraced the hobby and became actively involved, putting up towers and building his own shack. Gary soon upgraded to his General Class license and eagerly began exploring the world of HF operations. He has installed HF antennas, invested in quality equipment, and carefully developed his station to meet his goals.
Gary is a strong supporter of our club and participates in activities whenever he can. He has a true desire to help others in the hobby and possesses the skills and knowledge to do so. His contributions include erecting two towers of his own, assisting Peggy with the installation of her tower and antennas, assembling a go-box for portable and Field Day operations, and volunteering to serve as Club Treasurer when the position became vacant.
With sincere appreciation for your dedication, enthusiasm, and service to the amateur radio community and our club, it is with great pleasure that we present you with the Ham of the Year Award.
Sincerely,
Tim Ryder
President
Kilowatt Amateur Radio Club (K0KWC)
