"Amateur Radio + People = Fellowship"
Hamvention® 2006 Special Achievement Award
Riley
Hollingsworth, K4ZDH, received the Special Achievement Award for his
efforts in helping eliminate some of the problems that had been increasing
on the ham bands. As his nominator stated,
he helped "reverse an almost a decade and a half long period of Commission
inattention and govern ment apathy directed at our service.
Hams across the US credit Hollingsworth with helping to reduce -- and in many cases to
eliminate malicious interference and other problem behavior, both on and off the
air."
Hollingsworth is a Special Counsel
for the FCC Enforcement Bureau’s Spectrum Enforcement Division. He was given the responsibility for
coordination of Amateur Radio Service enforcement after that program
was transferred to the Enforcement Bureau in October 1998. His responsibilities
also include interference resolution in the Land Mobile and Public
Safety Services.
