[YV5KAJ]

Hello all Ham 
   
  Send new list CQ Announces 2008 Hall of Fame Inductees
   
   
  The CQ Contest and DX Halls of Fame honor those amateurs who not only excel in personal performance in these major areas of amateur radio but who also "give back" to the hobby in outstanding ways.
 
The 2008 inductees to the CQ DX Hall of Fame are: 
 
John Devoldere, ON4UN, who more or less single-handedly popularized DXing on 80 meters. His book, Low Band DXing, is considered the "bible" for DXing on these bands, with more than 50,000 copies sold in the 20+ years in which it's been in print. John was the first ham to earn CQ's 5-Band Worked All Zones (5BWAZ) award, in 1979; he holds 80m DXCC certificate #1 and currently has 357 countries confirmed on the band.
 
Nellie Saltiel de Lazard, XE1CI, a pediatrician and DXer/DXpeditioner, Nellie has earned just about every major DXing award and has operated from more than a dozen different countries, including being the first YL to operate from Palestine (E4). 
 
Bob Schenck, N2OO, has made his greatest contribution to DXing behind the scenes as QSL manager for over 100 DX stations and more than 130 DXpeditions and as founder of the QSL Manager's Society. 
 
The 2008 inductees to the CQ Contest Hall of Fame are:
 
Paolo Cortese, I2UIY - has too many top-10 finishes to list. Off the air, Paolo served for more than a decade as the HF Contest Manager for Italy's national amateur radio association; wrote a book on contesting, has been a member of the CQWW Contest Committee since 1990 and co-director of the CQ WW RTTY DX Contest and CQ WPX RTTY Contest since 2005. 
 
Randy Thompson, K5ZD, has multiple wins in the CQ World Wide DX Contest, ARRL Sweepstakes, CQ WPX (CW and SSB), CQ 160 and the IARU HF Championship. His station has also hosted many #1 performances by guest operators. Randy is three-time editor of the National Contest Journal, co-founder of the e-ham.net website. He has just been named Director of the CQ WPX Contests. 

Formal inductions to the CQ Contest and DX Halls of Fame were scheduled for the contest and DX dinners, respectively, at the Dayton Hamvention.®
