[CQ-Contest] CQ Hall of Fame Nominations Open

[David Siddall]

The period for submitting nominations for the CQ Magazine Contest Hall of
Fame is now open.  Individuals,  clubs, and national organizations must
submit nominations in time to be received by March 1, 2019.   Each nomination
should clearly indicate that it is for the Contest Hall of Fame and detail
the reasons and basis for the nomination. The mail address is: CQ Contest
Hall of Fame, c/o CQ Magazine, 17 W. John St., Hicksville, NY 11801
U.S.A.  Or, the preferred is to submit the nomination by email to:
W2VU at cq-amateur-radio.com. Be sure to make the subject line “Contest Hall
of Fame”.  More information is here: http://bit.ly/2jarYtk.



The CQ Contest Hall of Fame was established in 1986 to recognize amateur
radio competitors who have made major contributions to contesting “above
and beyond the call of duty.”  Successful candidates have given something
back beyond getting on and winning.  Note that nominations are *not *held
over from year to year.  So if you made an unsuccessful nomination for
2018, you must resubmit the nomination for it to be considered for 2019.
Please update any information and add anything that you think would help to
make the case for your nominee.


A maximum of two contesters are inducted each year.  The induction ceremony
will be held at the annual Saturday evening Contest Dinner at the Dayton
Hamvention®.  This year the dinner will be on May 18, 2019, at the Crowne
Plaza Hotel in downtown Dayton, Ohio.  Details of the dinner are posted
here:  https://www.contestdinner.com. Last year’s recipients were Tom
Wagner, N1MM, and Andy Blank, N2NT.  Pictures and a brief description of
their accomplishments are in CQ Magazine for August, 2018, at pages
97-98.  Past Contest Hall of Fame recipients are listed here:
