How does one become an A-1 Op?
How does someone become an A-1 Op?
"Only the best operators can qualify for the A-1 Operator Club, amateurs who have met the highest operating standards (details on request). But you can't apply; you must be recommended independently by two amateurs who already belong to the A-1 Operator Club. Who knows? Fine-tune your operating skills, and one of these days you may be pleasantly surprised when the mailman delivers an A-1 Operator Club certificate." from: http://www.arrl.org/awards/#a1 quote First organized in May 1933, the ARRL A-1 Operator Club has a proud history and occupies an important place in Amateur Radio tradition. Communications Manager Ed Handy, W1BDI, announced its formation with these words in July 1933 QST: Are you an A-1 Operator? Excellence in stations has often been emphasized. Yet, station performance, equipment, adjustment, etc., are but part of the story. The operation of the equipment, knowledge of procedure, and general communications technique are of very great importance in determining the results of any station. To bring attention to good operating as a paramount issue, and to give it something of the importance it deserves we are this month announcing in these columns the launching of a club for A-1 operators. By early 1934, the roster of recognized A-1 operators had swelled to more than 400; by the end of 1938, to 1,000. Then, as now, nominations were not made lightly; through the years, recognition as an A-1 Operator has represented an unsolicited acknowledgment of one's high standing among one's peers. Much is said about the handful of radio amateurs whose operating practices do not quite measure up. Not enough is said about those who, by contrast, lead by example - who set the standard for others to follow. Let us correct that now. Let us honor them as A-1 Operators and in so doing, honor the best in Amateur Radio. - David Sumner, K1ZZ unquote from: http://www.arrl.org/awards/a1-op/a1v11.html One can find the roster of members either by name or callsign at: http://www.arrl.org/awards/a1-op/roster/ To find those who have one nomination, look at: http://www.arrl.org/awards/a1-op/a1-nominees.html Dave K8MN |
