New CQ Hall of Fame inductees

CQ magazine has announced the induction of one individual and one
group to the CQ DX Hall of Fame, which honors those DXers who not only
excel in personal performance but who also "give back" to the hobby in
outstanding ways.

CQ DX Editor Bob Schenck, N2OO, presented Hall of Fame plaques at an
induction ceremony held at the annual Dayton DX dinner on May 17th.

The 2019 inductees to the CQ DX Hall of Fame are:

* Joe Taylor, K1JT - Nobel Prize winning-astrophysicist who has revolu-
tionized the face of DXing with his suite of WSJT weak-signal digital
modes, including FT8, which is capable of decoding signals well below
the noise level. The modes pioneered by Joe have kept the HF bands
busy and the DXers active even during the current solar minimum.
Other WSJT modes have also revolutionized VHF/UHF DXing via moonbounce
and meteor scatter. Taylor shared the 1993 Nobel Prize in physics for
the discovery of binary pulsars.

* Silvano Borsa, I2YSB, and the Italian DXpedition Team -
The Italian DXpedition Team has made more than 20 major DXpeditions in
the past 20 years, mostly to Africa, where its members have activated
more than a dozen rare countries, making nearly 1.4 million QSOs along
the way. In addition, the team has arranged for the donation and
delivery of two ambulances from Italy to Somalia, one of the many
countries it has activated.
In addition to team leader Silvano Borsa, I2YSB, the Italian DX-
pedition Team members include: Alfeo Caputo, I1HJT; Vincio Ravizza,
IK2CIO; Angelo Selva, IK2CKR; Marcello Cassinelli, IK2DIA; Stefano
Casari, IK2HKT; Angelo Gino Zambaiti, IK2RZP, and Mac Shimamoto, JA3USA.

The CQ DX Hall of Fame was established in 1967 to recognize those
amateurs who have made major contributions to DXing and DXpeditioning.
This is the 53rd annual induction.
