Dayton, OH -- Dayton Hamvention7 2002 is proud to announce our Year 2002
Award Winners.

Amateur of the Year
Alanson AHap@ Holly KC9RP, of Des Plaines, IL has been chosen to receive
Dayton Hamvention=s  Amateur of the Year award for 2002.  Mr. Holly
(licensed since 1965) began ham radio informational programming in 1984,
which lead him to become founder and moderator (and >guiding light=) of a
weekly amateur radio audio feature magazine known as the RAIN Report - The
Radio Amateur Information Network.  Mr. Holly, who incidentally is blind,
produces this weekly program from his ham shack in suburban Chicago.  He
provides timely interviews, commentaries from other hams, excerpts from
many of Hamvention=s forums and many other items of interest to the amateur
radio community.  His RAIN programming can be heard on hundreds of amateur
repeaters across the nation, and also by telephone.  Mr. Holly is an
inspiration to licensed radio amateurs, non-hams, and the visually impaired
and sighted individuals worldwide.  Dayton Hamvention7 is proud to honor
Alanson AHap@ Holly, KC9RP as its Amateur of the Year for 2002.

Special Achievement
Dr. Owen Garriott W5LFL, of Huntsville, AL and Dr. Tony England W0ORE, of
Dexter, MI have been chosen to share Dayton Hamvention=s Special
Achievement award for 2002.  These two gentlemen pioneered ham radio
operations in space by spearheading a successful campaign to incorporate an
amateur radio station aboard NASA's space shuttles.  Drs. Garriott and Owen
lent their knowledge, experience and influence to build and then operate
equipment that allowed hams everywhere to share the excitement of space
flight.   Their pioneering advancements lead to the development of
SAREX.  Dayton Hamvention7 congratulates Dr. Owen Garriott, W5LFL, and Dr.
Tony England, W0ORE for their Special Achievement.

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.
