Nominating Don Wilmelm for QRPer of Year?

[Andy Cunningham-2]

Doc et al...

Ya Got My Vote On That For Sure..!  All The Way From "Bonnie Scotland"....

Over the years, there have been many people of differing distinguished and
not so distinguished levels... that we As the "admirers" put in high places
in society and the world over...

President Lincoln
Nelson Mandela
Dr. Martin Luther King
Elvis "The King" Presley
Bob Dylan
The Beatles
The Rolling Stones
Neil Armstrong


To name but a few... I'm sure folks will join us here and add their own
names to the list..  All these folks in their Respective individual
"callings" have brought to us enjoyment, Wisdom, Love, Peace And Harmony..
and above all "Understanding" of things that they seem to have a "natural
ability" for and we struggle to comprehend...
the chosen ones, who seem to have been Put here amongst us on Earth for "a
purpose"...

I can truly say, that although YES, there is no argument, those before who
have been indicted into "The Hall Of Fame"
For their outstanding achievements and contributions to this wonderful hobby
that we are SO blessed and humbled to be Part of, deserve each and every one
of their achilades,...

Don Wilhelm is by far in my mind the sole person, who I would\will vote for
if ever there comes a way of us mere Subjects doing so, to entry into the
Hall Of Fame,...

You summed it up exactly for us ALL Doc when you said .."... probably most
of us have benefitted from Don's selfless and likely unselfconscious
donations to our hobby through the years, both online and directly..."

I am TOTALLY ashamed to admit nearly over 5 years I have had K2 S/n 01432
now, ... and she's STILL not finished,..like most Of us, life has taken me
in a different direction lately, the road has been very... rocky... but I
know that soon, when I Get back to the soldering iron, that Don and his ever
helpful self will be there, just waiting in the wings, for those fallen
Comrades in help of a friendly face and hand..  (Hope your listenin Mr
Wilhelm... there may be trouble ahead..!)

Just my 2 cents\ pennies worth... Hope someone can get this underway. The
numbers add up both here on the list and out there In the ether.. Without
his and folks like Tom Hammonds help, the "QRP Fraternity" would'nt be the
same...

Elecrafts products ARE 2nd-To-Non... THEY have set the standard... the
others to take suite and "try" to follow...
Don and the boys contributions and friendship just make the experience even
more enjoyable and worthwhile for us all..

God Bless You Don and ALL The Un-sung Hero's Out There... We Need You
Guys...

Much Obliged...

72's
