[ADXA] DX Mentor Program

[patw5vy at gmail.com]

Bill, AJ8B, President of the Southwest Ohio DX Association, has shared
information about a new DX Mentor Program that will identify and recognize
those hams who have been assisting hams under the age of 30 to begin their
DX journey.  Here is the announcement with links to the entry form.

 

SWODXA Announces the DX Mentor Recognition Program 

The Southwest Ohio DX Association (SWODXA) in conjunction with ICOMR
America, Inc. is announcing a program to recognize and reward amateur radio
operators who have played a key role in helping other amateur radio
operators achieve DXCC. The purpose of this program is not to bring
recognition to those that achieve DXCC but rather to recognize those
amateurs that assist others in achieving their first 100 confirmed entities.


 

There is an application form and a judging committee staffed by SWODXA
representatives and a representative from both the NCDXF and INDEXA. Those
amateurs receiving the mentoring must be under 30 years of age during the
calendar year for the award. The intent of targeting this audience is to
attract and retain those amateurs that are most likely to remain engaged in
the hobby after achieving DXCC. 

 

SWODXA is uniquely positioned to bestow this award at the annual SWODXA DX
DinnerR. The DX Dinner, held annually in conjunction with the Dayton
HamventionR, is arguably the largest gathering of active DXers in the world.
We present the DXpedition of the Year AwardR, the DXpeditioner of the Year
Award, when applicable, and host the DX Forum there. CQ Magazine announces
their CQ DX Hall of Fame inductees at the DX dinner as well. 

 

As a technology leader in our hobby, there is no better partner to promote
and celebrate this award than ICOM. Ray, N9JA, has been a constant promoter
of ham radio, even coining the phrase "For the Love of Ham Radio". ICOM has
selflessly supported amateur radio over the years and is taking this
opportunity to promote the mentors of DX. Thanks to ICOM for their support!

More information and the entry form can be found at
www.swodxa.org/DX-Mentor-Program <http://www.swodxa.org/DX-Mentor-Program>
or by emailing thedxmentor at gmail.com <mailto:thedxmentor at gmail.com> .

 

Bill can be reached at  <mailto:AJ8B at arrl.net> AJ8B at arrl.net if you have any
questions.

 

73,

Pat, W5VY
