OTN Stewart Day Award 2017
In 2003 the RAOTC
management
committee decided to establish an annual award, entitled the OTN
Stewart Day Award, in order to commemorate Stewart’s service to the
RAOTC in producing OTN magazine over a long period of time.
This award, in the form of a colourful certificate, is to be presented
each year to the RAOTC member whose original contribution to OTN has
been judged by the management committee to be the best published in
that calendar year.

Again
in 2017, as we have come to expect year after year, there were many
excellent contributions published in OTN which were considered for the
2017 award.
However, it was finally decided to present the OTN Stewart Day Award
2017 to Lloyd Butler VK5BR for the high standard of his original
articles A history of Parafield Airport and its facilities and History
of Leigh Creek and its early radio communications, both of which were
published in the September 2017 edition of OTN Journal.
Lloyd has been one of OTN’s more prolific contributors in recent years.
The RAOTC management committee would like to thank all the contributors
of material to OTN. Without your invaluable efforts we would not be
able to produce such an interesting and popular publication.
