The 2017 inductees to the CQ CONTEST HALL OF FAME are: - Dave Robbins, K1TTT, is the builder and owner of a contest super-station in western Massachusetts. Soon after assembling his first contest station, Dave wrote in the introduction to his book, Building a Superstation, "I realized I was not a 48-hour iron pants operator and decided to start doing multi-ops from here". Over the past 30+ years, Dave has hosted legions of operators at his multi-multi station, some veterans, some newcomers, and willingly shared his knowledge and experiences, both in his building book and his annual Contest Cookbooks, distributed to members of the Yankee Clipper Contest Club (YCCC), of which Dave is a past president. You can see webcams of his current station and much more information at http://www.k1ttt.net/. - Bob Wilson, N6TV, is an accomplished contester and contest DXpeditioner, but his achievements behind the scenes are as significant as those he's made on the air. A regular speaker at Contest University and the International DX Convention's Contest Academy, Bob has developed new techniques and technologies to enhance logging and score-keeping software and to advance SO2R (Single Operator, 2 Radios) operating, along with the efficiency of software defined radios, CW Skimmer, the Reverse Beacon Network and more. CQ Contesting Editor David Siddall, K3ZJ, presented Hall of Fame plaques at an induction ceremony held at the annual Dayton Contest Dinner on 20 May. This year's inductions bring the total number of members of the CQ Contest Hall of Fame to 69. 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. CQ DX Editor Bob Schenck, N2OO, presented Hall of Fame plaques at an induction ceremony held at the annual Dayton DX Dinner on 19 May. This year's inductions bring the total number of members of the CQ DX Hall of Fame to 71. E51LYC ---> Cezar, VE3LYC went QRT from Pukapuka (OC-098) on 23 May around 12.30 UTC. He has uploaded the log (5,612 QSOs) to Club Log and enabled the OQRS: https://secure.clublog.org/logsearch/E51LYC. "For the most part I removed the dupes which occurred within minutes", he says. "Please email any report of errors, omissions, or any questions directly to me. I will check the information and reply to every message as quickly as possible". OCEANIA DX CONTEST ---> The results of the 2016 Oceania DX Contest have been published: http://www.oceaniadxcontest.com/Results/results.html. Originally known as the VK/ZL Contest, the Oceania DX Contest has been running since the 1930s. This year's edition will be held on 7-8 October (SSB) and 14-15 October (CW). Both events start at 08.00 UTC on Saturday and end at 08.00 UTC on Sunday.
