> Hamvention has named the winners of its 2003 Amateur of the Year, Special
> Achievement and Technical Excellence awards. Well-known contester Larry
> "Tree" Tyree, N6TR, will receive Hamvention's 2003 Amateur of the Year
> Award. Tyree is the creator, organizer, and promoter of the successful
> Kid's Day <http://www.arrl.org/FandES/ead/kd-rules.html>--now administered
> by the ARRL. Kid's Day is an operating activity designed to give young
> people a chance to experience Amateur Radio firsthand and possibly inspire
> them to become licensees. Tyree also developed the popular TR-LOG contest
> logging software. A ham since 1967, Tyree lives in Boring, Oregon, with
> his wife and three daughters.

> "I hope to be able to use this to help encourage others to encourage young
> people to join our hobby," Tyree commented. "Obviously the help the ARRL
> has given me by taking over the event has been part of the success that
> enabled this [award]." The award to Tyree is in line with Hamvention's
> 2003 theme, "Year of the Youth." The show, May 16-18 at Hara Arena near
> Dayton, Ohio, will be on young hams and on attracting 12 to 18-year olds
> into Amateur Radio.
