CQ AMATEUR RADIO HALL OF FAME ---> The CQ  Amateur  Radio  Hall of Fame  was
established in  January 2001 to  recognize  individuals - radio amateurs  or
not - who significantly affected  the  course of  Amateur Radio, as  well as
radio amateurs who have made  significant  contributions  either to  amateur
radio, to their professional careers or to some other aspect of life on  our
planet. This year's inductees are:
- Marlon Brando, FO5GJ (SK), iconic movie actor
- David Brown, KC5ZTC (SK), NASA astronaut killed in 2003 Columbia disaster
- Kalpana Chawla,  KD5ESI (SK),  NASA  astronaut  killed  in  2003  Columbia
  disaster
- Laurel Clark, KC5ZSU (SK), NASA astronaut killed in 2003 Columbia disaster
- Ashhar Farhan, VU2ESE, pioneer in  popularizing  open-source  Bit-X "semi-
  Kits" using Arduinos for affordable QRP transceivers
- Grady Fox, W4FRM (SK),  SSB pioneer;  worked on  Manhattan Project  during
  World War II and the camera for NASA's lunar landers
- Wendell King, ex-2ADD (SK),  African-American pioneer of broadcasting  and
  college radio

- Ed Westcott, W4UVS,  photographer  who  chronicled  the  Manhattan Project
  during World War II and later helped the FBI with its investigation of the
  Jonestown massacre
This year's inductions bring the total  number  of  embers of the CQ Amateur
Radio Hall of Fame to 321.
Two new members each are also being inducted into the  CQ DX and  CQ Contest
Halls of Fame at the respective  Dayton DX and Contest dinners.  Their names
will be announced separately.

CQ WW DX CONTEST ---> Effective 14 May, John Dorr (K1AR) is the new Director
of the  CQ World Wide DX Contest.  He succeeds Doug Zwiebel (KR2Q),  who has
been CQWW Director  for  the  past  two years and  who has stepped down  for
personal reasons. K1AR has been a member of the CQWW Contest Committee since
the mid-1970s, and served as  CQ magazine's Contesting Editor  from 1989  to
2011.  A two-time medalist in the World Radiosport Team Championship (WRTC),
he was inducted into the CQ Contest Hall of Fame in 1997.

CQ WW DX CW CONTEST 2017 ---> "A change in scoring methodology for duplicate
contacts in the CW weekend  of the 2017  CQ World Wide DX Contest  led to an
inconsistency with the standards by which logs submitted for the SSB weekend
of the same contest were scored", the  CQWW Management announced on  10 May.
It was therefore decided to restore the original scoring methodology and  to
rescore all  CW logs for 2017.  The updated scores  have been posted online:
http://www.cqww.com/scorescw.htm?yr=2017&mode=CW.  "There was minimal impact
to the final scores with no significant changes  to the final standings  and
only 40% of the total pool of logs affected at all",  K1AR (CQ WW DX Contest
Director) says.

DXPEDITIONS DELAYED ---> Both the  3D2CR DXpedition  to  Conway Reef [425DXN
1410] and the T31T DXpedition  to  Kanton Island,  Central Kiribati  [425DXN
1403] have been delayed. Dom, 3Z9DX and the Rebel DX Group were expected  to
start from Conway around 21 May. "We want to do it as one trip", Dom said on
eHam.net, but  "there is a delay  from Kiribati gov.  with delivery new  SAT
emergency system for early warning earthquake and tsunami".
