CQ NEWS RELEASE (Announcing: 2018 Inductees, CQ DX Hall of Fame). [edited]
Rich Moseson, W2VU, Editor or CQ Amateur Radio, sent out the following on
May 18th: Kimo Chun, KH7U, and Krassimir "Krassy" Petkov, K1LZ/LZ1SA,
Inducted into CQ DX Hall of Fame -- 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 18th.
The 2018 inductees to the CQ DX Hall of Fame are:
Kimo Chun, KH7U - was nominated by the Dateline DX Association, of
which is is a founding member. He has operated on many major
DXpeditions, including Kingman Reef, Christmas Island, Palmyra
Atoll, Cambodia and Midway Island. In addition, he routinely
provides logistical assistance to hams planning Pacific island
DXpeditions; and provides electronic maintenance support for
groups administering Pacific island nature preserves, including
the Nature Conservancy and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
A longtime member of Hawaii's Department of Emergency Manage-
ment RACES team, Kimo was recently featured on an NBC News
story about last year's accidental nuclear attack alert message
sent out in Hawaii, and emphasized the role played by amateurs
as the first to alert the public that the message was sent in
error.
Krassimir "Krassy" Petkov, K1LZ/LZ1SA - Nominated by the Araucaria DX
Group of Brazil, the Bulgarian Federation of Radio Amateurs
and the Yankee Clipper Contest Club, Krassy has made many
behind-the-scenes contributions to DXing and contesting over
the years. A veteran of two dozen DXpeditions, Krassy has also
provided or arranged financial and/or material support to many
others. He also co-founded the Young Ham Contest Program in
2003, taking hams under age 21 to operate in major contests
from Caribbean superstations; and served on the board of the
2006 World Radiosport Team Championship (WRTC) competition in
Brazil. He has also worked with fellow DXers during DXpeditions
to promote amateur radio and provide equipment for hams in the
countries in which the groups operated.
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
73.
