Rooster of the Year

The ROTY is Merle, K2AOV, Rooster Number 75. Merle is as good a selection as there ever was. We're happy to see him get this recognition and join the board of advisors.

Chief's Award

This year's award went to Fred, WB2YTA, Rooster Number 780. Fred was recognized for his contacting and meeting other Roosters in the course of his work as an over-the-road truck driver. The Chief Rooster has designated Fred as our ambassador-at-large.

2-digit Roosters

The Chief presented awards to all Roosters with 2-digit Rooster Numbers. Four of them were present: Luke - W2SGP (22), Hal - K3ATO (53), Merle - K2AOV (75), and Ruth - WA2GWA (93).  Walt also noted that, in the early days, crowing-in was not a requirement. Jay, W3JAH, then assumed the solemn duty of getting these 4 crowed-in. It was pretty entertaining, but they all made it on the second try.
