Subj : Amateur Radio Newsline (B) To : All From : Daryl Stout Date : Fri Jun 10 2022 14:09:45 PROGRAM RELEASED FOR HAM RADIO FRIEDRICHSHAFEN JIM/ANCHOR: As memories of Hamvention are being discussed on the bands, the next international radio ham-fest is approaching quickly and "Ham Radio" in Friedrichshafen (Pron: Freed-Ricks-Ha-Fen) is ready to open from June 24th to the 26th. Our own ARNewsline correspondent in Germany will be attending and let's hand it over to him. Ed DD5LP... describe what is in the just-released program. ED: Ham Radio Friedrichshafen returns after two years away and takes a similar theme to Hamvention - a "Reunion with Friends." The program shows that all of the attractions that are looked forward to by attendees to this largest amateur radio event in Europe are there again. The manufactures and dealers large and small, the mystery of what you might find at the flea market and presentations on ham radio topics old and new. You can even sit your radio exam, whether German or US, or go and sit with the national regulators staff who are always willing to explain regulations and processes. On the weather, it looks like three sunny 30-degree Centigrade days will come along as usual however even if it rains it doesn't matter as everything is indoors using just a few of the many Zeppelin sized halls in this premier commercial expo centre. But, if you want to go outside, why not take part in the Fox-oring (ARDF) contest or indeed the arrival and departure radio contests. For me I may just relax in the beer garden with good food and a beer or non-alcoholic drink after going around the halls. Too late to get everything arranged to come to Germany in two weeks time? - well put next years dates in your calendar and plan to make that special radio trip in 2023 and be in Friedrichshafen for Ham Radio between June 23rd and 25th of next year!

Sel Embee, KB3TZD, tells us about him. SEL: Consistent hard work, contributions and selfless efforts have won top honors for Hiroshi Takahashi, V-A-7-L-E-T, who has become the R-A-C's Amateur of the Year for 2021. According to R-A-C's website, Hiroshi has been consistently active with the Vancouver Emergency Community Telecommunications Organization, or VECTOR, an emergency-preparedness program that supports the city's Emergency Management Agency. Over the years, he has coordinated its Basic amateur certification course, its civic service operations, and its annual exercises. From 2014 to 2019 he served as VECTOR's vice president. Hiroshi has also sponsored and operated V-E-7-R-V-U, a local repeater on 440 MHz and assists with V-E-7-R-V-Zed, a local 2m repeater. The R-A-C also cited achievements that included Hiroshi's role in founding the Lower Mainland Radio Room Society, filling Vancouver's need for an amateur radio club that nurtures new operators and educates the public about ham radio. The search is now on for the award recipient for 2022. Nomination deadline is September 30th. For Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Sel Embee, K-B-3-T-Zed-D.
