DAYTON SWODXA DX DINNER
DAYTON MARRIOTT HOTEL FRIDAY, MAY 16, 2025
Tonight, during the annual DAYTON SWODXA DX Dinner, two well known DXers were inducted into the Heritage CQ DX Hall of Fame now under the stewardship of INDEXA.
S53R, Robert Kasca, was not in attendance but was inducted into the Heritage CQ DX Hall of Fame. The award was accepted by W3ICM, Fred Matos.
Robert Kasca, S53R (most recently 9N7AA) has been inducted into the Heritage CQ DX Hall of Fame. In addition to operating in many countries, it should be especially recognized that Rob-ert brought a very positive and reticent advocacy for amateur radio to many countries as the World Food Program Communications Director. The overall result is a positive acceptance of amateur radio in the countries where he has served that could benefit amateurs obtaining li-censes in the future. He is a great advocate for amateur radio DXing with enormous good will as a result.
EY8MM, Nodir Tursun-Zade was on hand to accept his 2025 Heritage CQ DX Hall of Fame award.
Nodir Tursun-Zade EY8MM has been inducted into the Heritage CQ DX Hall of Fame. Nodir has participated on many DXpedition teams. But it is everything else that he does covering a wide variety of activities that make this guy a truly respected and honorable supporter of the DX community. In his home country of Tajikistan he has promoted amateur radio through a varie-ty of workshops with local hams and others interested in radio. He has funded these activities himself. He has also been generous at donating equipment to other less fortunate hams in his country.. Other similar activities included visiting the ET3AA station in Ethiopia with Ken K4ZW to work on the antennas and to mentor the students there assisting them with on-air operating skills. Nodir is also a very accomplished photographer and freely shares his many out-standing photos with the global DX Community. These skills have opened the world of DXers to experience the inner workings and often beauty of what it is like to be on a DXpedition to the rare and beautiful places that few ever get to see. He has made seven photo books cover-ing four different DX-Peditions and three WRTC events. These are available for free download to anyone. Most recently, he put together the “1,000 FACES of HAM RADIO” project that shows the faces of many well-known and not so famous radio amateurs from around the world.
