ARRL Receives Award from NPTSC
The
ARRL has been named as the latest recipient of the National Public Safety
Telecommunications Council's Heinrich Hertz Award. According to the ARRL
Letter,
the award is in recognition of the League's "exceptional devotion to the
activities of NPTSC and unwavering support of the public safety
community."
ARRL is a member of NPTSC. The award was presented at the
council's May 6 meeting by council Chairman Ralph Haller, N4RH, whom some may
remember as a former Chief of the FCC's Private Radio Bureau - which regulated
amateur radio at the time - in the 1990s. Haller
noted that the Hertz award is not presented annually, but presented only "when
exceptional performance warrants it."
