THE CQ DX HALL OF FAME

CQ DX Hall of Fame membership is only accorded those DXers who have made major contributions to the hobby. Such contributions involve considerable personal sacrifice and can usually be described by the phrase "above and beyond the call of duty." Nominations for the DX Hall of Fame are made through the CQ DX Awards Advisory Committee by DX clubs or individuals, and require the positive vote of 75% of the committee for acceptance.
