Awards
Recognizing the Contributors to Amateur Radio
The HamCation committee presents outstanding awards each year to very deserving people that go above and beyond to contribute and grow our amateur radio community. These individuals are not ones to seek recognition for what they do. That is what the Ham Radio community is all about. So, we want to recognize a few of these outstanding individuals each year that make this community the greatest in the world.
