The winners of the 2011 Hamvention awards were
announced today by Frank Beafore, awards
committee chairman.  Beafore said, "I want to
thank everyone that submitted nominations. The
choice was difficult and we wished that we had an
award for everyone nominated. We will be
providing additional information on our award
winners in the very near future. Please watch our
web site for the details." (http://www.hamvention.org)

Selected Amateur of The Year was Shirley Roberts,
N8LX of Dayton Ohio. This prestigious award goes
to an amateur who has demonstrated significant
contribution to amateur radio as well as related
public service. Shirley exemplifies all of the deepest aspects of this  
award.

The Albemarle Amateur Radio Club, WA4TFZ, of
Charlottesville, Virginia was named Club of The
Year. In addition to all the normal club
activities of a well led organization, Albemarle
ARC showed exemplary contributions in public
service, emergency communications and youth recruiting.

The Technical Excellence Award went to Roy
Lewallen, W7EL for his development of EZNEC - an
antenna modeling software system used by hams,
worldwide. This software is now the basis for
numerous amateur radio antenna training courses.

The Special Achievement Award goes to Fred Lloyd,
AA7BQ of QRZ fame. Starting out as a "call sign
project" Fred has developed the QRZ website into
an interactive "one stop shop". This system
provides deep, detailed operating and technical information to hams  
worldwide.

The award winners will be guests of honor at the
2011 Hamvention in Dayton which runs from May 20 to May 22 at Hara  
Arena.
