DX Foundation’s “DXcellence Award” is awarded to the “outstanding DXpedition

intended to recognize excellence in a DXpedition, exemplified by practices,
ethics, management, new technology, transparency, youth involvement, impact
upon the DXing community, and lastly exhibited fun! The winner of the award

DXpedition, impact on Club Log most wanted ranking”.
This year’s recipients of the DXcellence Award are:

remote operation, proving that a new technology can provide a huge impact
to DXing with almost no environmental impact;

of a well-organized DXpedition that emphasized youth participation and
remote radio technology”.

NCDXF NEWS —> A special Board meeting of the Northern California DX Foun-
dation took place on 20 April.
“At the meeting, the Board accepted the resignation of Board Director
George Wallner, AA7JV. The Board thanks George for his unmatched support to
the Board and for spearheading the development of the Radio-In-a-Box (RIB)
technology that continues to gain momentum in the DX community.
At this meeting, the Board elected Gregg Marco, W6IZT, to replace George
on the NCDXF Board. Gregg is passionate about the participation of young
hams in DXpeditions. He has led several DXpedition efforts recently that in-
cluded many young hams. He has also developed a Next Generation RIB system
that has been instrumental in including many young hams in DXpeditions via
remote access.
The Board also voted to expand the number of Directors to add two new mem-
bers. In concert with other recent changes to the Board’s emphasis, these
two new Directors need to be younger ham radio operators with proven DXpedi-
tion experience. Accordingly, the Board proudly announces the following two
additions to the NCDXF Board of Directors: Violetta Latham, KN2P and Max
Freedman, N4ML.
Adding these two outstanding young hams to the Board is another initiative
by the Foundation to encourage the participation of young hams in DXing and
DXpeditioning. We look forward to their insights on how to best support that
initiative”. [TNX AA7A]
