NEWS, PRESS RELEASES AND SPECIAL INTEREST

2022 CQ Contest Hall of Fame Inductees Announced

CQ Amateur Radio magazine announced the induction of two new members to
the CQ Contest Hall of Fame during a ceremony at the annual Dayton
Contest Dinner on May 21. The Hall of Fame honors contesters who not
only excel in personal performance, but who also give back to the hobby
in outstanding ways.

The 2022 inductees are:

David Pascoe, KM3T, a highly accomplished multioperator and
single-operator contester who has achieved many championships and
record scores. He is also responsible for much of the "back room" infrastructure behind the administration of many major contests. David
is a pioneer in live contest audio streaming and is a volunteer pilot
for two organizations that provide free medical-related air travel.

Craig Thompson, K9CT, a world-class contester and promoter of youth in contesting. He developed the North American Collegiate Championship
(NACC) program, in which college amateur radio clubs compete against
each other in the context of the larger competition - the North
American QSO Party. Craig is also involved in several amateur radio organizations and is currently chairman of the ARRL Contest Advisory
Committee.

The CQ Contest Hall of Fame was established in 1986 to recognize
amateurs who have made major contributions to the art of radio
contesting.

WinTrak Tracking System Now Available

Gary Abercrombie, N8CQ, has announced that his WinTrak Tracking System
is now available as a complete controller with an aluminum enclosure
and 2.4-inch OLED front panel display. The main WinTrak application
currently runs on Windows 10 and Raspberry Pi. Tracking of the moon,
sun, planets, and other astronomical objects is built-in to the system.

WinTrak is derived from the RazTrak Raspberry Pi tracking system and
now also supports Windows 10 users with connectivity over a standard
USB interface.
