During the May 16, 2025 Dayton SWODXA DX Dinner at the Marriott Hotel, Robert Kasca S53R was inducted into the Heritage CQ DX Hall of Fame now under the stewardship of INDEXA.

S53R was not in attendance but the award was accepted by W3ICM, Fred Matos.

Robert Kasca, S53R (most recently 9N7AA) has been inducted into the Heritage CQ DX Hall of Fame. In addition to operating in many countries, it should be especially recognized that Robert brought a very positive and reticent advocacy for amateur radio to many countries as the World Food Program Communications Director. The overall result is a positive acceptance of amateur radio in the countries where he has served that could benefit amateurs obtaining licenses in the future. He is a great advocate for amateur radio DXing with enormous good will as a result.
