News and Information /

During the American Radio Relay League state convention held in Indianapolis on July 9 and 10, Jeff DeLucenay, KB9QG of Garrett was named Radio Amateur of the Year Runner-up by the Indiana Section ARRL.

Jeff was chosen among top amateur radio operators in Indiana for this honor by a committee of his peers. The award recognizes the Indiana amateur operator that most lives the Amateur’s Code and exemplifies the ideals of the ARRL Five Pillars: Public Service, Advocacy, Education, Technology and Membership. In addition to fulfilling the ideals of the Five Pillars of the ARRL, Jeff’s accomplishments include his service as vice-president of the Northeastern Indiana Amateur Radio Association (NIARA) where he is a highly respected leader and mentor. In addition to being NIARA vice-president, Jeff is Chief Training Officer and Volunteer Examiner Coordinator for amateur radio license testing.

He easily builds relationships with all people and enjoys recruiting new amateurs and helping develop their skills. He truly exemplifies the best in amateur radio.
