Harold: I have failed to clearly communicate :) By awards, I was referring to awards such as Hiram Percy Maxim Memorial Award, Doug DeMaw, W1FB, Technical Excellence Award, ARRL Microwave Development Award, etc. Doug K4AC From: Kramer, Harold, WJ1B [mailto:wj1b@arrl.org] Sent: Tuesday, July 21, 2015 11:32 AM To: Rehman, Doug, K4AC <doug@k4ac.com>; arrl-odv <arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org> Cc: Patton, David NN1N <dpatton@arrl.org> Subject: RE: [arrl-odv:24509] Message to Board About Award Quesions Hi Doug, Here is our awards web page. http://www.arrl.org/awards This page lists all of our operating awards. We also just recently updated the WAS pages here: http://www.arrl.org/was If you have any specific suggestions to improve of clarify the information, please let me know. As you know, there are limitations on web page changes based on the CMS restrictions. Unlike contests, these awards do not have deadlines for submission. Awards are achieved when the contact confirmation information is submitted to our Awards Department. 73, Harold Harold Kramer, WJ1B ARRL Chief Operating Officer 860-594-0220 hkramer@arrl.org <mailto:hkramer@arrl.org> From: Rehman, Doug, K4AC Sent: Tuesday, July 21, 2015 11:22 AM To: Kramer, Harold, WJ1B; arrl-odv Cc: Patton, David NN1N Subject: RE: [arrl-odv:24509] Message to Board About Award Quesions Harold: On an unrelated (but similar topic), is there a web page that lists all of the various individual/group awards that the League bestows? I found pages for various awards, but I couldn't find a single listing page. I am certain that there are very deserving Amateurs for various awards, but I'm not certain that we've publicized them well enough in the past to generate nominations. I know that I have not and want to correct that going forward. A central web page with links to all of the award pages, if it doesn't already exist, would be a great resource. A list of the submission deadlines, even if it is just an email to ODV would be quite helpful in ensuring that I timely notify my Division of the awards.

Of course, any ODV member can always contact me or Dave Patton directly and we will forward the inquiry to the appropriate person. As a member of ODV, if you want to contact someone in the Awards Department directly with a question, then you can contact: Sharon Taratula STaratula@arrl.org <mailto:STaratula@arrl.org> , Awards Manager Or Sabrina Jackson SJackson@arrl.org <mailto:SJackson@arrl.org> , Administrative Manager Sharon and Sabrina deal with Awards every day and they can usually resolve inquiries very quickly. You can also refer members to our Awards Branch contact page: <http://www.arrl.org/awards-branch-contacts> http://www.arrl.org/awards-branch-contacts .
