The Philipsburg Amateur Radio Association has announced that Lou Trubiani, WB3AAI, is the recipient of the 2009 Ham of the Year award.
Lou hes been active with PARA events and activities, helping out whenever possible. Lou likes to tinker with antennas and really helped out last summer when PARA moved the 146.640 repeater to its new location in Chester Hill Boro. This project would certainly not have gone as smoothly without Lou's planning and effort. Lou was also a big part of the Philipsburg Heritage Days Special Event Station W3P last July. Lou was there working with the antennas and taking turns operating the CW station. Lou has always made time to help fellow hams out and is very deserving of this award.
