Personally, I am very glad that the proposers made it easier for us to decide who deserved the OM HAM honor of 2008. Most of the proposers agreed on one radio amateur who has been active for a long time in working with youth (well-known courses for young radio amateurs) and the amateur radio emergency service ARES - Ing. Jar Kubíček, OM1II.
From the suggestions:
OM1II – Jaro Kubíc(ek) – for the establishment of ARES in Slovakia, as well as significant help in training young radio amateurs.
OM1II Spring – a very practical and useful activity when organizing a rescue system !!!!
The next one proposed was Peťo OM3PA for his self-sacrificing help to young radio amateurs. It's a shame that there is only one award every year, both would definitely deserve the award.
I congratulate Jar and wish him a lot of energy, health and pleasure in his further amateur radio activity and we are sending a material prize.
