Phil Anderson, VE3FAS, Named to Canadian Amateur Radio Hall of Fame

12/09/2016

The Board of Trustees of the Canadian Amateur Radio Hall of Fame has announced the appointment of Phil Anderson, VE3FAS, of Amaranth, Ontario, to the Canadian Amateur Radio Hall of Fame for 2016. The Constitution for the Hall of Fame specifies that the appointment is made “for outstanding achievement and excellence of the highest degree, for serious and sustained service to Amateur Radio in Canada, or to Amateur Radio at large.” The Board of Trustees determined that Anderson is “most worthy of this honour.”

Licensed in 1961, Anderson had a distinguished engineering career in defense research and space design, after which he became an instructor at Humber College. His Amateur Radio involvement includes 50 years of service with the National Traffic System, and he was awarded the prestigious Brass Pounders League Medallion for outstanding achievement in passing third-party traffic. He served the National Traffic System (NTS) Eastern Area and served as manager of the Eastern Canadian Net and Transcontinental Corps (TCC). He was also a QSL bureau volunteer for 20 years.

Anderson will be formally inducted to the Hall of Fame at a club event in 2017. Thanks to Ed Frazer, VE7EF, Chair of the Board of Trustees, Canadian Amateur Radio Hall of Fame
