I am pleased to announce that Robert G. Dixon, K4MQG, of Fort Mill, South Carolina and Carl A. Clements, W4CAC, of Portsmouth, Virginia have both been awarded the ARRL Roanoke Division Service Award for 2009. This award, instituted in 1968 by then Roanoke Division Director, Vic Clark, W4KFC, is awarded for a long history of significant and consistent contribution to Amateur Radio. Traditionally, this award has been awarded to one amateur; however in 2009, two nominees with impeccable credentials received the same number of votes from the Awards Committee. After consultation with the Committee, it was determined that both nominees should be honored. Congratulations to both awardees and thanks from all in the Roanoke Division for their contributions.
