The Board of Trustees of the Canadian Amateur Radio Hall of Fame are
pleased to appoint Phil Anderson, VE3FAS, of Amaranth, Ontario to the
Canadian Amateur Radio Hall of Fame for the year 2016. Amaranth is a
township within Dufferin County in south-central Ontario.

The Constitution for the Hall of Fame specifies that the appointment is
made "for outstanding achievement and excellence of the highest degree, for
serious and sustained service to Amateur Radio in Canada, or to Amateur
Radio at large". Phil Anderson is most worthy of this honour.

Phil obtained his Amateur Radio licence in 1961. After a distinguished
engineering career in defence research and space design he became an
instructor at Humber College. His Amateur Radio involvement includes 50
years of service with the National Traffic System and he was awarded the
prestigious Brass Pounders League Medallion for outstanding achievement in
passing third party traffic. Phil served with the American Radio Relay
League (ARRL) Eastern Area, was the Manager of the Eastern Canadian Net and
Transcontinental Corps (TCC), and he volunteered with the QSL bureau for
over 20 years.

Phil Anderson will be formally inducted to the Hall of Fame at a club event
in 2017. A detailed account of his achievements will be presented in a
future edition of *The Canadian Amateur*.
