[NCC] CQ News Release -Announcing: 2020 Inductees, CQ Amateur Radio Hall of Fame - congrats K8CX!!!

Sun May 17 15:45:24 EDT 2020

Thanks everyone for the nice comments. That is a really prestigious 
group and I'm not sure how I fit in.  I am truly honored to be inducted. 
Thanks to Tim K3LR for recommending me and pushing it thru, Tom K8AZ and 
the North Coast Contesters for backing it up. It is great to be 
recognized for all the work that goes into HamGallery. It is a labor of 
love and my way of giving back to the best hobby in the world! A lot of 
the research that goes into the history of ham radio that is added to 
HamGallery (almost on a daily basis) can be credited to many of my 
dedicated friends around the world. My research friends are constantly 
going thru the site, finding interesting cards or photos, and sending me 
info about the operator(s). A lot of people are doing genealogy research 
and come across a card from a relative or friend posted on my site. I 
usually send them the card if I have it in my collection. I then ask for 
some history or a photo of the operator. Another work of love are the 
Dayton Photos currently numbering 6,054. I was truly sad this weekend 
missing my friends at Dayton. Tim's CTU was great and definitely 
lessened the blow of missing Dayton. Also the HVQP helped out.

Thanks again,
Tom K8CX
