Canadian Amateur Radio Hall of Fame

Radio Amateurs of Canada recognizes deserving Amateurs by appointments to the Canadian Amateur Radio Hall of Fame.

The Constitution of the Hall specifies that the appointment as Member of the Hall is for “outstanding achievement and excellence of the highest degree, for serious and sustained service to Amateur Radio in Canada, or to Amateur Radio at large”.

The Trustees of the Hall have interpreted the Constitution to mean that the person has performed significant service over many years to enhance the well-being of Amateur Radio. No single achievement would necessarily qualify an Amateur for the Hall of Fame, but a lifetime of service would be favourable. A list of previous Hall of Fame Members can be found on the CARHOF webpage.

SOTA Wedding

/

David Wise KM3A and Lizzette Rodriguez K6LZT are both keen SOTA activators, and their marriage actually took place on a summit and in conjunction with a SOTA activation!

The ceremony took place on California's Morton Peak, SOTA reference W6/CT-128, and was officiated by their friend Scott Lindquist N0OI, who became ordained especially for the occasion.

All three radio amateurs then successfully activated the summit as part of the celebrations. It was Lizzette's debut as a SOTA activator.
