(Xenia, OH - May 19, 2017) - CQ magazine today announced
the induction of two new members to the CQ DX Hall of Fame, which
honors those DXers who not only excel in personal performance but who
also "give back" to the hobby in outstanding ways. CQ DX Editor Bob
Schenck, N2OO, presented Hall of Fame plaques at an induction ceremony
held at the annual Dayton DX dinner on May 19.
The 2017 inductees to the CQ DX Hall of Fame are:
Bill Moore, NC1L (SK) - the ARRL's DXCC Manager
for over 20 years. A public face of the program at hamfests around the
world, Bill was also a major contributor behind the scenes, leading the
transition from DXCC paper records to a computer database, then years
later, guiding a major upgrade to the system that is in use today. Bill
was severely injured in an auto accident in 2014 and became a Silent Key
last year.
Jerry Rosalius, WB9Z - an accomplished DXer and
DXpeditioner, he has "worked them all" with the exception of North
Korea, and participated in multiple major DXpeditions, including seven
that were named as "DXpedition of the Year" by the Southwest Ohio DX
Association. He is a frequent speaker at club meetings and hamfests and
regularly makes his home station available for training new contesters.
The CQ DX Hall of Fame was established in 1967 to recognize those
amateurs who have made major contributions to DXing and DXpeditioning.
This year's inductions bring the total number of members of the CQ DX
Hall of Fame to 71.
