Antenna guru receives RSGB 50MHz award

An internationally-known antenna designer has just received another
accolade - this time from the UK's national amateur radio society.

Justin Johnson, G0KSC, founder of InnovAntennas, has been awarded the
Harold Rose Plate by the Radio Society of Great Britain.

In a letter confirming the award, the RSGB's Graham Coomber, G0NBI wrote:

________________________________

Dear Justin
It is with great pleasure that I write to tell you that the RSGB board
has agreed that you should receive the Harold Rose Plate. This award
is made to recognise an outstanding contribution to 50MHz, in your
case for 50MHz aerial design and support of home constructors,
DXpeditions etc.

This award is traditionally presented at the society’s AGM, which this
year is being held at the IET London: Savoy Place, London WC2R 0BL on
Saturday 20 th April starting at 12.00. I do hope that you will be
able to be present at the meeting to receive your award. The society
will refund UK travel expenses associated with your attendance.

Congratulations on this award – which the Board feels is richly deserved."

Graham Coomber, G0NBI

Justin has supplied a lot of designs to people. He has re-optimised
designs for free, and provides many different designs for 50MHz on the
G0KSC site.

He is also a keen supporter of DXpeditions, particularly on 50MHz.
This included the Z81D operation which, in conjunction with the UKSMG,
he supplied a 6-element OP-DES antenna to.

He will also be supplying antennas to H44IOTA DXpedition later this
year (www.h44iota.com ) for their 50MHz and Marine operations
