CQ NEWS RELEASE (Announcing: 2017 Inductees, CQ DX Hall of Fame) --
Jerry Rosalius, WB9Z, and Bill Moore, NC1L (SK) Inducted into CQ DX Hall
of Fame (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 19th.
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.
