James Baxter, K0UA, Receives Prestigious ARRL Award! 9-08-2022
“What a unique and special honor for James, KØUA, to receive this recognition and plaque from ARRL. This award is given only one time each year to only one deserving ham radio operator for services to fellow hams and potential amateur radio operators throughout the world. This Technical Service Award is well deserved for the many hours James has put in to assist others with their technical issues, big or small. It does indeed take a special individual to have that level of expertise and that level of patience to answer any and all questions to the best of his ability. He has literally helped folks on the other side of the world! It is also an honour for TLARC to have KØUA as a member of our Club.”
