    ARRL Awards Recognize Excellence in Ham Radio

    It probably isn't hard to think of someone you know in the hobby who goes
    above and beyond in service to amateur radio, their club, their fellow hams,
    or their community. Volunteers are the very core of the Amateur Radio
    Service, and that dedication is what carries the ARRL Field Organization. Excellence in on-air operating inspires the rest of us to be better, build better, and do better.


    ARRL seeks your help in honoring the outstanding work done by hams, through
    the ARRL Service Awards. There are a host of different awards which are
    divided into four categories: Education Awards, Media/Public Relations
    Awards, Technical Awards, and Distinguished Service Awards.


    Education Awards

    Hiram Percy Maxim Memorial Award
    Named for the Founding President of ARRL, this award goes to a licensed radio amateur under age 21 who has made exemplary contributions to amateur radio
    and the local community. Nominees must be current ARRL members. Nomination deadline: March 31, 2025.


    ARRL Herb S. Brier Award for Instructors and Teachers
    Honoring Herb S. Brier, W9AD (SK), ARRL sponsors this award in conjunction
    with the Lake County (Indiana) Amateur Radio Club to recognize the very best
    in amateur radio instruction and recruitment. The award goes to a licensed radio amateur and ARRL member who is an ARRL-registered volunteer instructor
    or ARRL-registered professional classroom teacher. Nomination deadline: March 15, 2025.


    Technical Awards

    ARRL Microwave Development Award
    This award recognizes a radio amateur or group of radio amateurs who
    contribute to the development of the amateur radio microwave bands.
    Nomination deadline: March 31, 2025.


    ARRL Technical Service Award
    This award recognizes a radio amateur or group of radio amateurs who provide amateur radio technical assistance or training to others. Nomination
    deadline: March 31, 2025.


    ARRL Technical Innovation Award
    This award recognizes a radio amateur or group of radio amateurs who develop and apply new technical ideas or techniques in amateur radio. Nomination deadline: March 31, 2025.


    Public Relations Awards

    ARRL Philip J. McGan Memorial Silver Antenna Award
    Honoring Phil McGan, WA2MBQ (SK), this award recognizes a radio amateur and ARRL member who has demonstrated leadership in successfully promoting amateur radio to the public. Nomination deadline: March 31, 2025.


    ARRL Bill Leonard Award
    Honoring Bill Leonard, W2SKE (SK), three annual awards are given to professional journalists or journalistic teams whose outstanding coverage highlights the enjoyment, importance, and public service contribution of the Amateur Radio Service. The award is given in three media categories: audio, visual, and print. Nomination deadline: March 31, 2025.


    Distinguished Service Awards

    Knight Distinguished Service Award
    Honoring Joe T. Knight, W5PDY (SK), the award recognizes exceptional contributions by a Section Manager to the health and vitality of ARRL. Nomination deadline: March 31, 2025 (for consideration during the July ARRL Board meeting).

    2025 ARRL Foundation Scholarships - Final Weeks to Apply

    The ARRL Foundation Scholarship Program continues to accept applications for the 2025 scholarship cycle. The application period is open until 12:00 PM Eastern Standard Time on January 6, 2025. The scholarships are available to eligible amateur radio operators pursuing higher education. There are more
    than 100 scholarships ranging from $500 to $25,000.


    The scholarships have been established by generous donors and can help fund a portion of a ham's education. Descriptions of the scholarships may be found
    at www.arrl.org/scholarship-descriptions [ https://www.arrl.org/scholarship-descriptions?utm_source=Informz&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=ARRL
    ] .


    ARRL Director of Development Kevin Beal, K8EAL, is encouraged by the program. "Hams are always learning, and being able to honor that dedication to
    education through generously funded scholarship programs helps relieve some
    of the financial burden that students can experience," he said.


    All applicants must submit a completed online application. Transcripts and
    any additional required documents must be submitted with the application and not emailed separately. A number of scholarships require additional
    documents, such as a letter of recommendation from a sitting officer of an ARRL-affiliated club. Applications without accompanying transcripts and additional required documents (if applicable) will not be considered. Scholarship recipients will be notified by early June 2025. Awards are mailed directly to recipients' schools and will be awarded in July 2025.

    ARRL Kids Day is Only a Couple of Weeks Away on January 4, 2025

    Kids Day runs from 1800 UTC - 2359 UTC. Operate as much or as little as you like.


    The event is designed to give on-the-air experience to young people, to
    foster interest in getting a license of their own, and give older hams a
    chance to share their stations and love for amateur radio with their
    children. You can share the excitement with your own kids, grandkids, a Scout troop, a church, or the general public!


    All participants are encouraged to post their story and thumbnail photos to
    the Kids Day Soapbox page [ https://www.arrl.org/soapbox?utm_source=Informz&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=ARRL
    ] . Tell the world about your operations, the fun you had, and the contacts
    you made! Remember, ARRL must have a completed release form [ https://www.arrl.org/files/file/Model Release /ModelReleaseForm.pdf ] in
    order to include youth photos (younger than 18 years of age) in ARRL publications.


    There will be a second ARRL Kids Day on June 21, 2025.

    In Brief...

    The Intrepid-DX Group [ https://intrepid-dx.com/ ] has announced the winners
    of the fifth annual Youth "Dream Rig" Essay Contest. Thirty-four essays were received from young amateurs in Canada and the USA. Judges concluded that
    each essay was unique in thought and very well written. Extra consideration
    was given for correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling. The essays gave interesting perspectives on how to reach out and connect with the youth of today. The First Place winner, and recipient of the ICOM IC-7300, is Katie Campbell, 16, KE8LQR. The Second Place winner, and recipient of an ICOM
    ID-52A dual-band multi-function D-STAR radio, is 14-year-old Lila Shearer, KK7RRV. The Third Place winner, and recipient of an ICOM T-10 dual-band handheld transceiver, is 15-year-old Michael Simon, KK7KLG. "Having read your many essays, we can tell that our youth are full of great ideas, and are brimming with enthusiasm to keep our hobby alive well into the future," said Paul Ewing, N6P

    SE, Intrepid-DX Group President. "We received a number of outstanding
    essays, and we wish that we had more prizes for the deserving authors. In the coming weeks, we will be sharing the winning essays on our Facebook [ https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=%20Intrepid-DX ] page. Thank you to
    all the youth participants for helping us make our fifth annual youth essay contest a success."

    The K7RA Solar Update

    K7RA Solar Update - NASA SDO/HMI
    [https://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/]


    For this Friday's ARLP051 ARRL Propagation Bulletin:

    Excellent HF conditions greeted hams in the ARRL 10-Meter Contest last
    weekend. Recent indicators show a sudden shift to two-digit daily sunspot numbers from three, and although there is nothing significant about 100, it makes one notice. Perhaps this indicates a move off of solar max, or a future with a second maximum.


    Predicted solar flux is 175, 185, 190, 195 and 200 on December 19 - 23; 205
    on December 24 - 25; 180 on December 26 - 27; 185 on December 28 - 29; 180 on December 30 through January 2, 2025, and 175 on January 3 - 4.


    The forecast for Planetary A index shows a quiet 5 on December 19 - 22; 8 on December 23 - 24, and 5 on December 25 through January 4, 2025.


    Sunspot numbers for December 12 through 18, 2024 were 91, 82, 86, 97, 90, 88, and 82 with a mean of 88. The 10.7-centimeter flux was 172, 163.7, 170.5,
    172, 166.7, 170, and 173.5 with a mean of 169.8. Estimated planetary A
    indices were 6, 4, 10, 12, 14, 29, and 15, with a mean of 8. Middle latitude
    A index was 4, 2, 8, 9, 11, 20, and 12, with a mean of 12.9.
