Two veteran International Amateur Radio Union Region 1 (IARU-R1) volunteers were honored at Ham Radio 2016 in Friedrichshafen, Germany, in late June.

This new award recognizes exceptional contributions over many years. Verholt also received the IARU Region 1 Medal from Region 1 President Don Beattie, G3BJ, in recognition of his work on EMC matters in Region 1 for more than 20 years.
