- W.E. Snortum
This award is presented during the Annual DX dinner, or other
suitable forum, and has been a traveling award since 1980
The FINE PRINT: The
newly installed DX HOG can negate the consequences of the last
requirement, that is, having to buy the other DX hogs drinks for
non-display of the HOG hat in the HOG's Shack in only one way: The new Hog must wear the
honorable DX HOG HAT for the duration of the Hamfest while in and or
around the Hamfest premises.
