[IRCA] Ultralight Anniversary Award for Kevin Schanilec

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello Guys,
 
     The Ultralight Radio enthusiast group has many  things to be thankful 
for today--  an exciting new way to enjoy AM-DXing, a  well established awards 
and records program, a fantastic Canadian web site for  group communication-- 
and a core group of dedicated DXers who helped start and  organize the movement.
 
     We are especially thankful for the outstanding  DXer who gave us the 
"Ultralight Radio" name-- Kevin Schanilec.  From the  very beginning of the 
movement, Kevin has played a central role in promoting,  reviewing and testing 
Ultralight radios, as well as contributing many  outstanding technical articles 
(including his classic description of audio  phasing techniques).  Kevin's 
technical and equipment review articles  have been extremely popular on the DXer.Ca 
web site, and Kevin has volunteered  his time to serve on both the Ultralight 
Definitions Committee, and the  Ultralight Contest Committee.
 
     Recently Kevin has written another classic  technical file, describing 
the use of Passive Loop Antennas.  Kevin has  continually been a leader in the 
experimentation to boost Ultralight radio  reception using inductively coupled 
active and passive loop systems, providing  an inexpensive way for apartment 
and townhouse DXers to increase the performance  of their Ultralight radios.  
 
     In appreciation of Kevin's outstanding  contributions to the Ultralight 
Radio DX movement, he  will now have a new radio to enjoy during this winter 
DX  season--  a new, fully modified E100 Ultralight (Slider loopstick and  
Murata CFJ455K5 IF filter), designed as the ultimate stand-alone AM-DXing  
portable for both 9 KHz split DXing, and for domestic DXing.  This  fanatical 
creation will hopefully express the appreciation of all Ultralight  Radio DXers for 
Kevin's generous and innovative  efforts, in promoting our exciting new niche 
hobby.
 
     On behalf of the Ultralight Radio leadership, I  take great pleasure in 
presenting Kevin with this Founders Award, and know  that other ULR DXers will 
join me on this Thanksgiving Day in  expressing their gratitude for his many 
contributions!
 
     73 and Good DX,
 
     Gary DeBock and John Bryant  (for the  Ultralight Radio DXing Group)
