OTN Stewart Day Award 2012
In 2003 the
RAOTC management
committee decided to establish an annual award, entitled the OTN
Stewart Day
Award, in order to commemorate Stewart’s service to the RAOTC in
producing OTN
magazine over a long period of time.
This
award, in the
form of a colourful certificate, is to be
presented
each year to the RAOTC member whose original contribution to OTN
has
been judged by the management committee to be the best published in
that
calendar year.
The
list of award
winners since its inception is as follows:

Again
in 2012, as in
all preceding years, there were several excellent contributions
published in OTN
which were considered for the 2012 award. However, after substantial
discussion, it was finally decided to award the OTN Stewart Day
Award 2012
to Gerry Wild VK6GW in recognition of the high standards of his
original
articles My radio journey which appeared in the March 2012
issue of OTN
and Veteran’s badge which appeared in the September 2012 issue
of OTN.
Gerry’s
articles are
excellent examples of the type of personal involvement in radio history
we like
to publish in OTN.
In
making the 2012
award to Gerry, the RAOTC management committee also made special
mention of the
outstanding and continuing support to OTN by regular
contributors, Clive
Wallis VK6CSW, Herman Willemsen VK2IXV,
Lloyd Butler
VK5BR and the editor Bill Roper VK3BR.
The
RAOTC management
committee would like to thank all contributors to OTN magazine.
Without
your invaluable contributions the RAOTC would not be able to produce
such an
interesting magazine.
