ZL4BO 1954 New Zealand
The following press release is
from ZL2AL, Lee Jennings on 1/1/09.
During the past few months a group of Kiwi DXers have worked to
set up The New Zealand DX Hall of Fame to honour those
outstanding ZL DXers who have excelled in our radio sport hobby
over many years. The panel of judges, Ken McCormack ZL1AIH,
Duncan McMahon ZL3JT and Bill Carney ZL3NB have been nominated to
the panel for three years.
Their first task was to draw up a long list of possibles from
which the first three ZL DXers to be elected to the Hall of Fame
were chosen. After much deliberation the judges were unanimous in
their selection and have elected the first three ZL radio
amateurs to the New Zealand DX Hall of Fame for 2009. They are
Roy Jackson ZL4BO, Ron Wright ZL1AMO, and Jock White ZL2GX sk.
Roy Jackson ZL4BO
This 1st ever award recognizes Roy's extraordinary and unselfish
contribution to the sport of Amateur Radio DXing in New Zealand.
His DXing skills over many decades are legendary and the
inspiration and help that he has given to other ZL DXers has been
immeasurable. His personal achievement in the ARRL DXCC program
is outstanding and he has been at the top of his game for
decades.
We wish Roy well in the future and hope that he will enjoy having
this award Plaque on his wall.
