It is time once again to consider nominations for the Fort Myers Amateur Radio Club’s “Ham of the Year.”  Please take a few moments to consider nominating a fellow Ham for the award.

A couple of reminders:

• Prior winners cannot be nominated again.
• The selection committee are prior winners who choose to participate.
• The deadline for nominations is Sunday November 16, 2025.
