3B9C Receives The
Colvin Award |
In March 2004, the ARRL Colvin Award Committee announced that the latest
Colvin Award was being made to the 3B9C DXpedition.
This financial award has made an invaluable contribution to the expenses
incurred in mounting our major DXpedition. The award will be used to help
cover the logistical cost of shipping four tonnes of equipment by container
from the United Kingdom to Rodrigues Island - and back.
Members of the 3B9C team are delighted that the ARRL Colvin Award Committee
have seen fit to give this prestigious award to our DXpedition and thank the
committee for their consideration.
The Colvin Award is a result of an endowment gift made to ARRL, by Lloyd
Colvin, on his death in 1993. Lloyd, W6KG and his wife Iris, W6OL, visited
and activated over 100 DXCC countries between the 1960s and early 1990s.
Iris died in 1998.
