WØMH Recognized*

QCWA Chapter 8 Member #36456 Mark Persons, WØMH, of Brainerd, Minnesota, 
has been recognized with the 10th Society of Broadcast Engineers (SBE) 
Lifetime Achievement Award. He was SBE Engineer of the Year for 2018./
/

Only nine people had received the lifetime achievement award from the 
Society of Broadcast Engineers, until now. Mark Persons becomes the 10th 
person.

Persons was first licensed as a Novice in 1963 with the call WNØAXD 
while living in Minneapolis, Minnesota. CW was the way for a Novice to 
communicate back then. That skill has not been lost over the years. He 
still has his original straight key. Mark served in the U.S. Army Signal 
Corps 1966 to 1969. He taught radar at Ft. Monmouth, New Jersey and then 
spent a year as Sergeant in charge of an avionics repair shop in the 
Republic of Vietnam. Most of the work was done on the U. S. Army OV-1 
Mohawk. He has worked as a radio broadcast engineer ever since. Persons 
has known from the onset that he wanted to be a broadcaster. His wife 
Paula is WØHA.
