To all QSL/QTH.net users,

Last Thursday I was notified that I had received the Dayton Hamfest 2002 award for Technical Excellence

"Mr. Alan Waller, K3TKJ, of Laurel, DE has been chosen to receive Dayton Hamvention's Technical Excellence award for 2002. Mr. Waller, first licensed in 1961, combined his decades-long love for Amateur Radio and a burgeoning interest in the then-new Internet (1993) to design and manage the www.qsl.net and www.qth.net web sites. Mr. Waller's web sites have served the interests of tens of thousands of Hams worldwide by providing technical references, email and web page hosting services, and links to thousands of other sites. In the true spirit of the Amateur Radio Operator, Mr. Waller's initial work utilized "leading edge" experimentation to see "what can we do with this" and has developed into a mature, reliable mode of communication. Hamvention congratulates Alan Waller, K3TKJ, for his Technical Excellence"


I am honored to have been selected for this and will accept the award in the name of all the financial supporters and volunteers that have made this all possible. In the past 6 years I have received help from countless individuals and groups and if I neglected to thank you please let me do it now or do it again.

QSL/QTH does not "belong" to me. I was fortunate to have a few good ideas, and the resources to get it started. The real award winners here are the supporters and volunteers, without you this would never have happened.

We as a "team" have broken new ground, and many more exciting things are planned in the future.

I would like to acknowledge the following for their major support.

Every person who took the time and effort to nominate me. To quote the awards committee, "the campaign to nominate you was impressive"

K7ON  Brian Short  for all the early development.

AA9ZT  Mike Imrick for thousands of hours of programming, technical support, and friendship.

W8DBF Duane Fisher for his incredible insight as to what is important and what is not.

W4KMA Ed Griffin for his major financial support and just being a great friend.

KB8ZGU Tim Miller for the many hours of hard work and enhancements.

Every person who has ever contributed financially to keep us growing.
The 255 volunteers who run the mailing reflectors, they make my job easy.

And finally my wife Denise for the total support of my "out of control hobby" (her famous words).

It's still fun to do....I can't wait to see what the next six years will bring.

See you at Dayton!

73, and thanks to all again

Al  K3TKJ
