The Senator Barry M. Goldwater K7UGA Achievement Award

This sounds fine to me, I support it. Hope we have reason to award it yearly... :-) There could be some confusion between this award and the ARRL Foundation scholarship honoring Barry Goldwater ($5000). The scholarship hasn't been awarded in recent years because it was never funded at a level to support a yearly award (it would take an endowment of $100k or so). Just to be complete, the scholarship terms of reference is included below. -- Tom
