The Community Broadcasting Association of Australia has given its Technical Excellence in Services Award to Dale Simpson from Vision Australia Radio.

VA network manager, Conrad Browne said Simpson was nominated because of his exceptional work ethic and dedication.

“The role requires someone to be available at all times and Dale goes above and beyond this. After years of service and dedication to community radio, it is wonderful he has this acknowledgment.”

The award recognises the contribution of an engineer improving and supporting a station’s technical facilities and engaging others in developing these facilities.
