During the May 16, 2025 Dayton SWODXA DX Dinner at the Marriott Hotel, Nodir Tursun-Zade EY8MM was inducted into the Heritage CQ DX Hall of Fame now under the stewardship of INDEXA.
Nodir 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 variety 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 outstanding 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 covering four different DXpeditions 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. Visit Nodir's website!
