Legion magazine article wins ARRL award

This year’s American Radio Relay League (ARRL) Bill Leonard Award recipients have been announced.
Each January, the ARRL board of directors chooses a recipient in the Audio, Visual and Print/Text categories “whose outstanding coverage highlights the enjoyment, importance and public service value the Amateur Radio Service has to offer.” Started in 1999, the award is named for late CBS News President Bill Leonard, W2SKE, an amateur radio operator and advocate.
Each recipient receives an engraved plaque and a $250 contribution in their name to the charity of their choice.
Video: Jackie Lukas, reporter and anchor for News 12 Long Island in New York, for her report on the Great South Bay ARC’s amateur radio activation of a lighthouse.
