CQ DX HALL OF FAME

[IK0ZCW]

Established in 1967, the CQ DX Hall of Fame honours those amateurs who have made major contributions to DXing and DXpeditioning.
The 2021 inductees are:
* Jacky Calvo, ZL3CW/F2CW, a veteran of the French Air Force and the International Committee of the Red Cross, with postings that took him (and his ham station) to a dozen countries around the world; a participant in more than two dozen DXpeditions and WRTC (World Radiosport Team Championship) competitions from 2010-2018 and is a team leader for 2022.
* Francesco Valsecchi, IK0FVC, who has regularly activated Vatican City for the past 30 years using HV0A and other call signs, as well the Sovereign Military Order of Malta (SMOM) as 1A0KM. Along with fellow operators, Francesco has logged more than 300,000 QSOs for the two tiny entities, averaging roughly 10,000 contacts per year for hams around the world.
This year's induction will be conducted online once again, as a result of the COVID-19-related cancellation of the Dayton Hamvention and associated DX Dinner. CQ DX Editor Bob Schenck, N2OO, will conduct the DX Hall of Fame induction on 26 May during the "Ham Nation" podcast on the Ham Radio Crash Course YouTube channel.
