CQ DX HALL OF FAME
Inviato: 26 maggio 2023, 20:22Established in 1967, the CQ DX Hall of Fame honours those amateurs who have made major contributions to DXing and DXpeditioning.
The 2023 inductees are:
* Arecio "Al" Hernandez, K3VN - Al has been deeply involved in DXpeditions to many rare and difficult to reach destinations. He has traveled to more than 100 countries, operated from at least 20 of them and has participated in close to a dozen award-winning expeditions. Al is a prolific public speaker and author. His first DXpedition article was published in CQ magazine in 1976. He is an expert in electromagnetic interference and compatibility and holds seven patents in the field.
* Adrian Ciuperca, KO8SCA - Adrian has been on 30 DXpeditions in just over seven years, including the recent 3Y0J expedition to Bouvet Island. He actively promotes amateur radio to young people in places that he visits (assuming it's a location with people!), and is frequently the voice or face of various trips to the amateur community, appearing on interview shows and writing about the adventures for CQ and other publications.
Adrian is also the tech support person for 4U1UN, the amateur station at United Nations headquarters in New York City, and can frequently be found operating there when he isn't traveling to some remote part of the world.
