At the recent Central States VHF Society (CSVHFS) Convention -- held July 29-30 in Irving, Texas -- CSVHFS President Chuck Clark, AF8Z, presented the President’s Award to Gene Zimmerman W3ZZ. “I truly appreciate this award,” Zimmerman told the ARRL. “Central States is one of the best known VHF organizations in the United States, and as a former CSVHFS Director, I know what an honor all CSVHFS awards are.” The award was given in recognition of Zimmerman’s work on E-skip propagation and being the VHF Editor and conductor of QST’s “The World Above 50 MHz” column for the past nine years.
