    of Fame (Xenia, OH - May 19, 2017) - CQ magazine today announced the

    A public face of the program at hamfests around the world, Bill was

    a frequent speaker at club meetings and hamfests and regularly makes
    his home station available for training new contesters.

    The CQ DX Hall of Fame was established in 1967 to recognize those
    amateurs who have made major contributions to DXing and DXpeditioning.
    This year's inductions bring the total number of members of the CQ DX
    Hall of Fame to 71.

    CQ NEWS RELEASE (Announcing: 2017 Inductees, CQ Contest Hall of Fame) --
    Dave Robbins, K1TTT, and Bob Wilson, N6TV, Inducted into CQ Contest
    Hall of Fame - (Xenia, OH - May 20, 2017) - CQ magazine today announced
    the induction of two new members to the CQ Contest Hall of Fame, which
    honors those contesters who not only excel in personal performance, but
    who also "give back" to the hobby in outstanding ways. CQ Contesting
    Editor David Siddall, K3ZJ, presented Hall of Fame plaques at an induction
    ceremony held at the annual Dayton contest dinner on May 20th.

    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 Cook-
    books, 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 <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 Inter-
    national DX Convention's Contest Academy, Bob has developed new tech-
    niques 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.

    The CQ Contest Hall of Fame was established in 1986 to recognize those
    amateurs who have made major contributions to the art of radio contesting.
    This year's inductions bring the total number of members of the CQ Contest
    Hall of Fame to 69.
