Milestones: W1YL Awarded Russian Krenkel Medal
DX grand dame Ellen White, W1YL, is the
latest recipient of Russia's E.T. Krenkel Medal, a prestigious
award granted to
individuals and organizations for outstanding global contributions to amateur
radio. She is only the 28th recipient of the award, according to George Wagner,
K5KG, who provided us with this news. Ellen was honored for her work as the ARRL's
Deputy Communications Manager and QST DX
Editor as well as being instrumental in the establishment of two contesting clubs,
Murphy's Marauders (the predecessor of today's Yankee Clipper Contest Club) and
the Florida Contest Group. For many years, Ellen also recorded QST magazine on tape for the Library of
Congress's talking book program for the visually-impaired. Ellen was featured
in the 2018-19 CQ Amateur Radio Calendar.
