Cody Anderson, KI4FUV, A 17 year old radio amateur from Harriman, Tennessee, whose quick thinking likely saved the life of a downed runner in a 2009 marathon, has been named as the 2010 Amateur Radio Newsline Young Ham of the Year. This marks the 25th anniversary of the Young Ham of the Year Award program.

Cody is the son of Benny Anderson and Jane Ann Edwards. He is an honors graduate of Rockwood High School in nearby Rockwood, Tennessee.

This July 2, 2010 segment on the Science Friday podcast had some interesting tidbits for ham radio operators, including speculation on larger solar cycle fluctuations than the familiar 11 year cycle that we all know and love. Guest Dr. David Hathaway, a solar astronomer at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, talks about some of the more difficulties in forecasting solar activity trends, and even apologizes to ham radio operators for missing the mark in his several years ago prediction that the coming solor cycle would produce much more activity!
