Technical Achievement Award*

Adam Farson, VA7OJ/AB4OJ, 2022 Dayton Hamvention Award winner of the 
Technical Achievement Award.

Adam Farson, VA7OJ/AB4OJ, of West Vancouver, B.C., received the 
Technical Achievement Award for his dedicated professional work with RF 
and telecommunications engineering issues and innovation. He has been a 
ham since he was a teenager.

Best known to the amateur radio community for his development of 
multiple sources of technical support for Icom radios, Farson started an 
Icom technical support net on 20 meters in the 1980s. He and came to 
know several senior Icom Japan engineers while living in, and traveling 
around, Japan while working. With each week's net, Farson helped hams 
solve challenging technical and logistical issues.

Farson has spent 3 decades creating an online resource for HF radios. 
His website -- a repository for highly technical information on Icom and 
other HF transceivers and amplifiers -- is now one of the most widely 
cited internet resources.

He independently performs measurements on nearly all new radios, 
including noise-power ratio, a measure he developed. His work includes 
producing the only data radio hobbyists have, which clearly delineates 
how modern software-defined radios (SDRs) perform across the spectrum of 
band noise levels. Farson has written multiple articles for technical 
and amateur radio journals. Recently, he penned a multipart series on 
modern HF solid-state amplifier design principles.
