CQ MAGAZINE NEWS. Richard Moseson, W2VU, Editor of CQ Amateur Radio,
sent out the following press release on May 8th: "Randy Thompson, K5ZD,
Named Director of CQ WPX Contests (Hicksville, NY) -- Contesting luminary
Randy Thompson, K5ZD, has been named Director of the CQ World Wide WPX
Contests, effective immediately. Randy succeeds Steve Merchant, K6AW,
who has been WPX Contest Director since 2002 and who needed to step aside
due to business obligations.
Randy has been a contester for more than three decades and has multiple
wins to his credit in the single-op, all-band categories of both the CQ
World Wide DX Contest and the CQ WPX Contest, in both CW and SSB modes.
Randy is also a past editor of the "National Contest Journal" (a post he
has held three separate times) and a co-founder of the eHam.net website.
He is a longtime member of the Yankee Clipper Contest Club and an
instructor at K3LR's Contest University. In the past year, Randy has been
working with Steve Merchant behind the scenes on the WPX contests, so he
is already familiar with the program from the administrative side.
Any questions regarding the 2008 WPX Contests (SSB weekend was held last
March; CW weekend is coming up at the end of May) should be directed to
Randy via e-mail to: . We thank K6AW for his years of
dedicated service to the WPX Contests and look forward to a seamless
transition to K5ZD's administration of the event."
