Hello All,

 

     The newly created Ultralight Radio Awards Committee is pleased to announce its initial awards, in honor of four outstanding DXers who truly set the highest standard, during our first exciting season.  These individuals astonished all of us with their amazing DX accomplishments, which proved to all that these innovative pocket radios are capable of incredible long-distance DX.
