425 DX NEWS MAGAZINE  --->  The  April  2014  issue  is  now  available  for
download at www.425dxn.org/monthly/index.html. [TNX IZ3EBA]

CQ 2014 HALL OF FAMERS ---> CQ Magazine announced on 16 May  the  2014  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: Clifford  Berry  (W9TIJ),  Warren  Bruene
(W5OLY), John Huntoon (W1RW), Mike Koss  (W9SU),  Nancy  Kott  (WZ8C),  Paul
Laughton (N6BVH), Ralph Showers (ex-W3GEU) and Steve Wozniak (ex-WV6VLY  and
ex-WA6BND).
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 J. Scott  Redd  (K0DQ)  and  Ed  Muns  (W0YK).  The  2014
inductees to the CQ DX HoF are  Joe  Reisert  (W1JR)  and  David  Collingham
(K3LP).

FT5ZM ---> "With 14 FT5ZM team members paying 51% of the total costs and  DX
Foundations, DX Clubs and individual DXers contributing the  difference,  we
have reached our goal of $450,000", the team reported on  14  May.  "All  of
our DXpedition costs can now be paid and we can look  forward  to  our  next
project. Any additional contributions received now, will be used  to  reduce
the approximately $16,500 paid by each team member.  In  order  to  properly
recognize and thank those who helped us financially, we  have  uploaded  all
contributors (57,069 QSOs of our total  170,000  QSOs)  to  Logbook  of  the
World (LoTW). We will continue to upload any new  OQRS  direct  requests  to
LoTW  as  time  permits".  QSL  cards  are  in  the  final    design  phase;
distribution will begin to OQRS requestors in mid-June,  followed  first  by
traditional direct requests and then by bureau requests. A full LoTW  upload
is expected in  September.  Watch  www.sjdxa.org/ft5zm-qsl.htm  for  updates
from the QSL manager (N2OO) on the QSL process.
