Atlantic Division awards

The ARRL Atlantic Division ''Amateur of the Year'' for 1993 is Tony
Young, WA3YLO, of Bowie, Maryland.  Young is president of the
Foundation for Amateur Radio, a consortium of radio clubs in the
Baltimore-D.C. area that administers an extensive program of
scholarships for licensed amateurs.

Recipient of the Atlantic Division's ''Grand Ole Ham'' award is Jim
Spencer, W3BBB, of Lansdale, Pennsylvania.  Among his
accomplishments, Spencer designed and built the Amateur Radio
display station at the Franklin Institute Science Museum in
Philadelphia (and pictured on the cover of July 1992 QST).

The Atlantic Division's Technical Achievement award went to John
Hansen, WA0PTV, of Fredonia, New York, an assistant editor of the
AMSAT Journal and the designer of several innovative systems for
amateur satellites.

These awards were presented at the Atlantic Division Convention in
conjunction with the Rochester Hamfest in May.
