Life Vice President<\/strong> – Murray Niman, G6JYB<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Awarded to recognise an outstanding contribution to amateur radio.\u00a0This is not awarded every year and is reserved for those who have made an outstanding contribution to amateur radio. It is the highest honour the Society can bestow.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

It is awarded this year to Murray Niman, G6JYB. Murray has contributed and continues to contribute to amateur radio in many ways at local, special interest and at national level. However, it is his contribution as Chair of the Spectrum Forum that we particularly recognise. Murray was appointed Microwave Manager in 2006 and Chair of the Spectrum Forum in 2014, a post that he continues to hold.<\/h4>\n

He has taken an active role in setting RSGB IARU policy on spectrum and general policy matters, assisting and guiding six RSGB Presidents in their role of Head of IARU delegation. He has built strong relationships with our regulator Ofcom and helped generate policy that has steered amateur radio worldwide away from significant threats at the 2023 World Radio Conference. This was a one-month event that he attended in his own time.<\/h4>\n

Murray took a leading RSGB role in liaising with Ofcom on behalf of all radio amateurs in the UK in the years leading up to the new licence. He provided leadership during the consultation on the new terms, providing feedback to Ofcom and educating the radio amateurs in the UK on the meaning and significance on the new licence. Since Ofcom announced the new licence conditions, he has continued to provide help and guidance to radio amateurs on behalf of the RSGB.<\/h4>\n

Murray is a most deserving holder of the title of RSGB Life Vice President.<\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
