6O - "Due to the recent activation of Somalia by the 6O0CW group", Paul

425 DX NEWS MAGAZINE ---> The April 2012 issue is now available for
download at www.425dxn.org/monthly/index.html. [TNX IZ3EBA]
7O6T ---> The expedition to Socotra Island, Yemen went QRT at 21 UTC on 15
May, as expected. In fifteen days 162,029 QSOs (72997 SSB, 80237 CW and
8795 RTTY) with 37,863 unique calls were made from three different
locations. As part of the operating agreement, the expedition was limited
to six radios and ten operators total. The planning began in February 2010,
and "this trip came about as a result of focusing on being a good person
and building meaningful relationships in the Republic of Yemen".
CQ 2012 HALL OF FAMERS ---> CQ Magazine announced on 18 May the 2012 Hall
of Fame inductees. 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: George Badger (W6TC), Bill Brown
(WB8ELK), Robert Brown (NM7M, SK), Evelyn Gauzens (W4WYR), Richard Garriott
(W5WKQ), William W. Hansen (no call, SK), Richard Kirby (ex-W0LCT/HB9BOA,
SK), Fred Maia (W5YI, SK), Steve Mendelsohn (W2ML), Larry Mulvehill
(WB2ZPI), Rowley Shears (G8KW, SK), Mike Staal (K6MYC), Frederick Terman
(ex-6FT, W6AE, W6XH, SK), Patrick Tice (WA0TDA), Louis Varney (G5RV, SK)
and William A. Wilson (K6ARO, SK).
The CQ Contest Hall of Fame (established in 1986) and the CQ DX Hall of
Fame (established in 1967) honour those amateurs who not only excel in
personal performance in these major areas of amateur radio, but who also
"give back" to the hobby in outstanding ways. This year's inductees in the
CQ Contest HoF are Jim Reisert (AD1C) and Lothar Wilke (DL3TD, SK). The
2012 inductees to the CQ DX HoF are Don Chesser (W4KVX, SK), Glenn Johnson
(W0GJ) and Carl Smith (N4AA).
HEARD ISLAND 2014 ---> Cordell Expeditions has announced a DXpedition to
Heard Island, in early 2014. This project follows the very successful VK0IR
expedition carried out in 1997. "We have assembled a core team, arranged
for the vessel, and are awaiting the landing permit and radio callsign",
Bob, KK6EK says. "We will be active on all bands and all modes, implement a
variety of innovative real-time communications technologies, and field a
variety of scientific projects that are designed to observe and document
some of the unique resources on this extraordinary island". The website for
the 2014 DXpedition is at www.cordell.org/HD/. If interested in joining the
expedition, please contact KK6EK at schmieder[@]cordell.org.
QUEEN'S DIAMOND JUBILEE SPECIAL PREFIXES ---> Alan, 5B4AHJ has compiled an
"almost complete" list of 2Q, GQ and MQ prefixed callsigns for stations NOT

celebrating the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II ends on 10 June
[425DXN 1094]. The list is at www.clublog.org/docs/dashboard.action
TOP LISTS ---> Luciano Lucini, IK2QPO is the new manager for the Topband,
Topmode and Toplist listings (www.425dxn.org/awards/toplist/index.html).
