The above recognition is well deserved for Dave's development and distribution of the Fast Light Digital Modem Application (fldigi) family of programs for use in amateur and emergency communications. W1HKJ's software programs are free for amateur use and the fldigi software runs under Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. In addition, Dave Freese, W1HKJ, worked with the W1AW Station Manager, Joe Carcia, NJ1Q, and W1AW's digital bulletins are now sent using fldigi.

Thank You Mr. Freese!
