The ICQ Amateur/Ham Radio Podcast team has shifted ownership and management of
the Homebrew Heroes Award[1] to the Ham Radio Workbench Podcast[2].

"It makes better branding sense for their team to acquire and manage this
awards program," said Frank Howell, K4FMH, of the ICQ Amateur/Ham Radio Podcast
team. "Their episode-to-episode content clearly reflects the underlying
principles of the Homebrew Heroes Award." (Howell detailed the change[3] in the
January 2 ICQ Podcast.) George Zafiropoulos, KJ6VU, of the Ham Radio Workbench
Podcast, said,

"We plan to maintain the award into the future." Speaking on behalf of the Ham
Radio Workbench Podcast, Rod Hardman VA3ON, said he was delighted to have a
leadership role in the award program. "It's a perfect fit for what we are
about," he said. The Homebrew Hero Award was the brainchild of Howell during
the 2019 Dayton Hamvention¿, which was the first time the ICQ Amateur/Ham Radio
Podcast team had gathered in person. A few months later, the first award went
to Hans Summers, G0UPL, of QRP Labs[4]. Howell said he'll maintain a connection
to the award program as a sponsor. - Thanks to the ICQ Amateur/Ham Radio
