Riley  Hollingsworth confirmed  as banquet speaker! 
On  the heels of the  resounding success of  the 2003 Great Lakes Division Conference in  Findlay, Ohio (this past  September 2003), the 2005 GLD Conference has  been announced. The  Toledo, Ohio club (TMRA)  will host the  convention, which will  be held on Saturday,  March 19, 2005,  in conjunction with the  Sunday, March 20, 2005,  Toledo Hamfest! Both  events are held indoors,  with the hamfest drawing typically 3,000 hams.  Details will be  forthcoming, but MARK  YOUR CALENDARS NOW! FCC  Special Counsel for  Amateur Radio Enforcement Riley  Hollingsworth K4ZDH has  confirmed as guest speaker for the banquet  for the evening of  Saturday, March 19, 2005. Riley will also  present a seminar that  afternoon. Also,  keep in mind that we  will also be accepting  nominations for the  Division level awards:  The George S. Wilson III  W4OYI Great Lakes  Division Award, Great  Lakes Division Amateur  Of The Year, Great Lakes  Division Technical  Achievement Award, and  the Great Lakes Division  Newsletter Award. Vice  Director Dick Mondro  W8FQT from Dearborn  Hts., Michigan will  chair the GLD Awards  Committee and will send  out the awards criteria,  procedures and deadlines  later this Summer.  Brenda Krukowski KB8IUP  from Toledo has been  appointed as the  Convention Manager, and  Joe Phillips K8QOE from  Cincinnati has agreed to  again serve as Seminar  Chair (Send your ideas  for the presentations  you would like to see to  Joe!). Jeanie Dalton  KB8QLC from Lexington  will continue running  the Convention Office.  Division Director Jim  Weaver K8JE, Kentucky SM  John Meyers and Michigan  SM Dale Williams WA8EFK are also on the GLD  Convention Committee.

Nominations  for Division Awards  Sought 
The  Great Lakes Division is asking  for nominees for three awards to  be presented at the GLD  Convention in Toledo, OH in March  of 2005. If you are aware of any  one you feel meets the following  criteria, please enter a  nomination. Most assuredly we  need to recognize those  individuals who do so much to  make this the excellent  hobby-service it is. Please lend  some serious thought as to who  may qualify for these awards: 1.  George S. Wilson W4OYI Great  Lakes Division Award. This award  is presented to an outstanding  amateur whose lifetime  achievement merits recognition  for outstanding contributions to  the amateur radio service. 2.  Amateur of the Year. This award  is for outstanding service by a  radio amateur during the year  preceding the nomination. 3.  Technical Achievement Award. This  is presented to the outstanding  amateur(s) whose technical  excellence exemplifies  "continuation of the amateur's  proven ability to advance the  radio art" and who exemplifies  the highest dedication to service  to others and to science rather  than self.

Nominations should include the  name, call and address of the  nominee as well as a one page  statement of support. You may  e-mail nominations to Vice  Director Dick Mondro  W8FQT at arrl.org or mail them to  Dick at 800 Dover Drive, Dearborn  Hgts., MI 48127. The deadline is  February 11, 2005 art 5:00PM.  These awards are presented at the  discretion of the Awards Committe  and Director, not necessarily  every year.
