[Ron Dodson]

IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN!!! 

Nominations are now being accepted for the Ky ARES Operator of the Year
for 2005!  http://www.kyham.net/ooty.html

Since 1999, the Kentucky Section Amateur Radio Emergency Service has
recognized the accomplishments of operators who go "above and beyond"
and serve as an example to other amateur radio operators in both deed
and dedication to the field of amateur radio emergency communications.
The pinnacle of this recognition is the KY ARES Operator of the Year
Award.

Any Kentucky Amateur Radio Emergency Service Operator who is nominated
by another operator is eligible to receive the award provided they are
not a previous winner of the award, or an evaluator choosing this year's
recipient.

The winner of the award is selected through points values assigned to
the response to each yes/no question, and the content of the free form
question. Be sure to completely list all relevant information for your
nominee. Understand that this award is for activities from July 2004 to
June 2005. Information from past years can serve as background
information, but will not be considered as part of the judgment for this
year.

This year's award will be presented Saturday, September 10, 2005 at the
KY ARRL Convention at the Greater Louisville Hamfest
www.critterbob.com/glha during the EMCOMM Forum.
