“I am extremely honored to join the prestigious list of amateur radio operators who have earned this distinction. My most sincere thanks to everyone on the selection committee who helped to make this possible, my colleagues at DX Engineering, and those in the ham radio community who continue to keep amateur radio vital and thriving—today and for generations to come.
It is my greatest privilege to share the bands with you. I look forward to continuing to give back to the hobby that has given me so much over my lifetime on the air.”
