Scholarship History

The fund was started in March of '89 via donations from Chuck Miller, WAØKUH (on behalf of the entire club) and Delia Miller for her OM, Charles U. Miller, WØLQM. It reached the 10K level in December 92, and was voted an "active scholarship" in January 1993. Ms. Skolaut ('93) was the first year awardee.

You're welcome. By-the-way, your first year awardee, Elizabeth, just got married. Her proud papa, Chuck, KØBOG, came to work here at HQ last year. The cycle goes on... :-) -- Mary

(from e-mails dated 17 June, 2003)

PHD Certificates were sold during the 1990 ARRL National Convention and raised about $10,000 to add to the fund.

PHD donated $25.00 for each member that became a Silent Key.

PHD ARA - A Brief History

PHD ARA Was founded by five Hams in 1969. PHD held 30 consecutive Hamfests at a variety of locations in Kansas City. Chuck Miller, WAØKUH (SK) was the primary force behind PHD and responsible for starting the monthly Newsletter, The PHD ARA VEC, and numerous Amateur Classes.
