In Amateur Radio there are various certificates on offer, some that can be sought, and others awarded by peers for contribution to the hobby.
EMDRC Life Membership
Members that have provided outstanding service to the club and to amateur radio in general, may at the discretion of the committee, be elected to life membership of the club. Peter was awarded life membership in 2020 for services to the club and amateur radio in general.
Jack Gutcher Award
This award is presented in memory of Jack Gutcher VK3APU. Jack was a foundation member of the Mountain and District Group.
In its first year, the Award was to be presented as a Junior Award to the most regular attender and proficient operator on Club Nets. Conditions may be changed each year at the discretion of the committee.
WIA Certificate of Appreciation
This was awarded by the WIA after the Australian Maritime College (AMC) took over from the WIA as the AOCP assessment body. Peter was an assessor for many years and is responsible for many new amateurs getting on air.
John Moyle Memorial Field Day Certificate
The aim is to encourage and provide familiarization with portable and field operation, and provide training for emergency situations. The rules are therefore specifically designed and focused to encourage field operations.
EMDRC Southern Cross Award
One of my very earliest achievements as a member of the EMDRC.
Charlie White Award
Peter was awarded the Charlie White Award at the 2024 AGM for providing educational services to the Amateur Radio community.
