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 created and 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 will be the new steward of this award with 

blessing from Cathy Ross (wife of K2MGA). It will be controlled and reviewed by a 

select and diverse group of amateurs. Nominations will be accepted from January 

1st thru April 15th of each year. Please read nomination procedure here! Send your 

nominations to Tom Roscoe K8CX at [email protected]. Make sure to put "CQ 

AMATEUR RADIO HALL OF FAME" in the subject line. You will be notified by April 

30th if your nomination was accepted or declined.

The CQ Contest Hall of Fame is also taking nominations (until March 1st). Visit their 

website for more information!

The CQ DX Hall of Fame is also taking nominations (until March 1st). See their

Thanks & 73,
