ANARTS News Bulletin 901 24TH MARCH 1996
AMSAT NEWS SERVICE BULLETIN 077.01 FROM AMSAT HQ
William A. (Bill) Tynan, W3XO, has been named HamVention 1996
Amateur of the Year by the Dayton Amateur Radio Association.
Bill has championed the cause of VHF/UHF enthusiasts,
worldwide. He had been contributing editor for QST Magazine's
"World above 50 MHz" column for eighteen years, providing a
medium to nurture new communication techniques, encourage DX
performance and improve contesting rules on the VHF/UHF bands.
He pioneered the establishment of the Radio Amateur Satellite
Corporation (AMSAT). From the founding days of the first
OSCAR-6 launch to his present post as President of AMSAT-NA,
Bill has sacrificed much of his personal time, talent and
resources to the promotion and development of the amateur
satellite program. His vision continues with the advent of
the Phase 3-D project, scheduled for launch in December,
ushering in an entirely new dimension of amateur radio
operation.
