The Intrepid-DX Group has announced that DXer and DXpeditioner Eric Hall, K9GY/T6MO, is the recipient of its second annual Intrepid Spirit Award.

“This award is to recognize Eric’s outstanding efforts to activate Afghanistan during his tour of duty as a US Army reservist, making over 41,000 contacts,” the group’s award announcement said. “We acknowledge Eric’s pursuit of operating excellence and his quest to activate the rare and often dangerous entities.”

Hall will receive the award at the DX Dinner on May 16, held in conjunction with Dayton Hamvention®. This Intrepid-Spirit Award was made in memory of James McLaughlin, T6AF, who died in Afghanistan 3 years ago. — Thanks to Paul Ewing, N6PSE, President, The Intrepid-DX Group
