<p class="yiv2260225338MsoNormal">We are continuing to plan a monthly column for 2023 to profile hams to are high profile in society or have accomplished something major outside of amateur radio.&nbsp; We have been collecting names but we’d like to hear from you.</p> 
<p class="yiv2260225338MsoNormal"> &nbsp;</p> 
<p class="yiv2260225338MsoNormal">Naturally Joe Taylor, K1JT leaps to mind as he has earned a Nobel Prize in radio astronomy.</p>

<p class="yiv2260225338MsoNormal">Please think about hams in your division that would meet this criteria.&nbsp; We’d like to interview them and bring the possibilities of a life influenced by radio communications and technology to light for both our members and for our teachers/youth.</p>
