Awards
I focus on a limited number of well-regarded awards and strive to bring a sense of uniqueness to each, although that is always a matter of personal perspective. I chase the awards through portable and low-power operations, as these aspects are central to my lifestyle. Recently, I have been especially active on amateur satellites, and some of the latest awards I have received are listed below.
