I’d like to take this opportunity to recognize and honor Mr. Finn Poulsen, WB2UWU as the Mount Beacon Ham of the Year 2004 thru 2005, and present him with this plaque & certificate of appreciation. Finn has consistently demonstrated his love for both Amateur Radio and the MBARC. I’m sure y’all know Finn (but if you don’t please make it a point meet him and talk with him), he was first licensed in Denmark as OZ7PO in 1947. Finn moved to the United States in the early 1950’s and settled in Chicago, where he worked as an electronics tech for the airline industry. He ended up working for IBM and living in the Hudson Valley. Finn deserves our recognition for being one of the hardest working members of the MBARC, just a few of the things he does for the club and ham radio are, he gets on the air and keeps the repeater alive, he is a member of the engineering committee, does a great job at maintaining the clubs website www.qsl.net/mbarc , religiously checks in every week to the MBARC on air meetings and supplies the Hudson Valley with our weekly “Amateur Radio Newsline QST”, Finn serves as a “control operator” for the 146.970 repeater, but most important he gets on the air and welcomes new people and talks to them about the club and it’s activities.
Tonight is Finn’s night, there are a number of deserving people in the area that work hard for the MBARC and Amateur Radio, and I hope this award will be something that continues annually for many years to come.
Please stand and put your hands together for a round of applause to honor the Mount Beacon Ham of the Year for 2004-2005
My friend and fellow ham Mr. Finn Poulsen WB2UWU
Thank you
