Dayton, OH -- Dayton Hamvention 2002 is proud to announce our Year 2002 
Award Winners.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 2002 congratulates Alan Waller K3TKJ for 
his Technical Excellence.
