Amateur of the Year
Alanson "Hap" Holly, KC9RP, of Des Plaines, IL has been chosen to receive
Dayton Hamvention's
Amateur of the Year award for 2002. Mr. Holly (licensed since 1965) began
ham radio
informational programming in 1984, which lead him to become founder and
moderator (and guiding
light) of a weekly amateur radio audio feature magazine known as the RAIN
Report - The Radio
Amateur Information Network. Mr. Holly, who incidentally is blind, produces
this weekly program
from his ham shack in suburban Chicago. He provides timely interviews,
commentaries from other
hams, excerpts from many of Hamvention's forums and many other items of
interest to the amateur
radio community. His RAIN programming can be heard on hundreds of amateur
repeaters across
the nation, and also by telephone. Mr. Holly is an inspiration to licensed
radio amateurs, non-hams,
and the visually impaired and sighted individuals worldwide. Dayton Hamvention
is proud to honor
Alanson "Hap" Holly, KC9RP, as its Amateur of the Year for 2002.
