[IK0ZCW]

The inaugural Island Radio Expedition Foundation's (IREF) "IOTA DXpeditioner of the Year" Award was presented on 17 May at the 34th DX Dinner in Dayton. The three awardees are Cezar Trifu VE3LYC (1st place), Mikhail Zavarukhin VE7ACN (2nd) and David Deane EI9FBB (3rd). The award is for encouraging "expeditioners, through friendly competition, to activate islands that won't necessarily meet IREF funding guidelines but are needed by many of the newer chasers".
