NAMES IN THE NEWS: K4ZDH NAMED NEW CQ MAGAZINE CONTRIBUTING
EDITOR
Retired FCC amateur radio enforcement chief Riley
Hollingsworth, K-4- Zed-D-H, has been named a CQ magazine
contributing editor, succeeding "Washington Readout" editor
Fred Maia, W5YI, who recently became a Silent Key.
Hollingsworth, a ham since 1960 and a longtime FCC attorney
became a household name in amateur radio in 1998. That's
when he was named Special Counsel for Amateur Radio in the
Commission's then newly-created Enforcement Bureau.
His highly-visible enforcement actions were cheered by a
majority in the amateur community. Especially after more
than a decade during which FCC enforcement on the ham bands
was virtually non existent.
Riley Hollingsworth retired from the FCC in 2008, but has
continued to be in demand for personal appearances within
the ham radio community. And according to CQ Editor Rich
Moseson, W2VU, he was the natural choice for a column on
regulatory matters concerning amateur radio:
--
W2VU: "If you are looking for a columnist on regulatory
affairs, who is better qualified than Riley Hollingsworth?
"He spent 30 years in the FCC; kept us all in-line for over
a decade; continues to be a widely sought after speaker at
hamfests and clubs and is very widely respected throughout
the amateur community."
--
Riley Hollingsworth's new monthly column will be titled
"Riley's Ramblings." According to Moseson, it will
incorporate "Washington Readout's" coverage of legislative
and administrative actions that affect amateur radio along
with additional topics of importance and/or interest to CQ's
readers and the ham radio public at large.
Hollingsworeth's first column will appear in the July, 2012,
issue of CQ. In it he will explain why ongoing FCC
enforcement actions since his retirement have been somewhat
"under the radar."
Riley Hollingsworth holds a Master's degree from the
University of South Carolina, and a law degree from Wake
Forest University. He lives in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania,
with his wife, Pat. (CQ)
