"NEW DXAC DIVISION REPRESENTATIVE"

For the past 36 years, the Roanoke Division has relied on Gary Dixon, K4MQG, from Fort Mill, SC to serve as the division's representative to the DXAC, ARRL's DX Advisory Committee.

The DXAC consists of one representative from each of the 15 divisions which make up ARRL's Board of Directors. The purpose of the DXAC is to help guide board members and ARRL staff on DX awards and the status of recognition of new and retiring geographical entities.

Gary's been the perfect ambassador for this task. As an ardent DXer, he has earned 380 entities in Mixed DXCC and the rank of #1 DXCC Honor Roll. He was inducted into the CQ DX Hall of Fame in 2013. Gary's not entirely retiring - he will continue to serve as an ARRL Card Checker at hamfests in the Charlotte area.

Replacing Gary will be someone of similar stature - Lou Dietrich, N2TU, from Mooresville, NC. Living all his life on small lots with modest antennas, Lou has achieved 10 Band DXCC, Top of the Honor Roll-Mixed, and needs one more each on Digital and CW to earn them all. Since 2012, Lou has operated from several DXpeditions, including Swains, Wake, Navassa, Palmyra, and Sable Islands and was a member of the recent St. Paul operation team. Thank you, Gary, and welcome Lou!"

Both Gary - K4MQG and Lou - N2TU are CDXA and INDEXA Members.
