Kentucky Amateur of the Year Reminder
The first planning session was on February 18th for the 2025 Greater Louisville Hamfest in September. Several new ideas to mull around.
​
BUT just to remind all... each year we recognize someone in Kentucky as the KY Ham of the Year and this year is no different. Keep an eye out and nominate someone who is a hams ham. That guy or gal that is active on the air, always has a helping hand, balances hamming with the rest of life. Got someone in mind? Sing their praises in an email to KYAmateuroftheYear@gmail.com.​ For more information, go to our KY Ham of the Year page. -Buddy Sohl KC4WQ
