ARRL Member Peter J. Madsen, K2PM, of Easton, Pennsylvania, is the recipient of the prestigious Radio Club of America (RCA[1]) Fred M. Link Award, for lifetime achievement in land mobile radio communication and for his significant contributions to resolve serious issues affecting repeaters in urban environments. Madsen will receive the award on November 17 at the annual RCA banquet in Pittsburgh. A radio amateur since 1961, Madsen enjoys contesting as well as DXing on 80 and 2 meters. He has considerable repeater experience and owns machines on three bands.

In his QRZ.com profile, Madsen said his interest in electronics and ham radio began with "staring into the vent slot of our 12-inch Emerson at the 6BG6 and 6W4 glowing inside the high voltage cage." In addition to RCA, he belongs to the Quarter Century Wireless Association and the Frankford Radio Club.
