It was an honor be recognized by the Radio Club of America and to be presented this award. It was an eye-opening experience for me to be exposed to the field of wireless communications and to be introduced to the discussions taking place among first responders and the government regarding emergency situation preparedness," said Willet, who is double majoring in Mechanical Engineering and Engineering Physics at Kettering. "As an amateur radio operator, I've mostly only experienced the hobby side of radio.
