THE HERITAGE CQ AMATEUR RADIO HALL OF FAME ---> The CQ Amateur Radio Hall of
Fame was established in January 2001 to recognize those individuals, whether
licensed radio amateurs or not, who significantly affected the course of
amateur radio; and radio amateurs who, in the course of their professional
lives, had a significant impact on their professions or on world affairs.
The CQ Amateur Radio Hall of Fame was controlled by Richard Ross, K2MGA (SK)
and Rich Moseson, W2VU of CQ Magazine fame. CQ Magazine has discontinued,
but the Heritage CQ Amateur Radio Hall of Fame will continue to honor select
qualified individuals. Hamgallery is the new steward of this award, with
blessing from Cathy Ross (wife of K2MGA) and Rich, W2VU.
The 2025 inductees are: Prof. Jim Breakall, WA3FET; Angel M. Vazquez, WP3R;
Wayne Overbeck, Ph.D., N6NB (SK). Their profiles can be found on
https://hamgallery.com/HOF/AmateurRadio/.
