CQ NEWS. Richard Moseson, W2VU, Editor of CQ Amateur Radio, provided the
following press release dated March 27th: "Terry Zivney, N4TZ, Named
Director of CQ WPX Contests -- Terry Zivney, N4TZ, has been named Director
of the CQ World Wide WPX Contests, effective immediately, CQ Publisher
Dick Ross, K2MGA, announced today. Terry succeeds Randy Thompson, K5ZD,
who has been WPX Contest Director since 2008 and recently was named
Director of the CQ World Wide DX Contests.
Licensed since 1961, Zivney has held N4TZ since 1977 and has had
numerous top-five USA finishes in the single-op/all-band (SOAB) low
power category of CQWW, CQWPX (as KS9K), and ARRL DX contests. He also
competed in the 2010 World Radiosport Team Championship in Russia, and
has had three articles published in the National Contest Journal.
Professionally, Zivney will retire in May 2013 from Ball State University
in Muncie, Indiana, as the Maxon Distinguished Professor Emeritus of
Finance and Insurance. In the 1970s he worked as an electrical engineer
at Scientific Atlanta and Computer Sciences Corporation.
'As a long-time low power contester,' said N4TZ, 'I especially appreciate
the WPX contest because its unique mix of exotic DX and plentiful domestic
contacts ensures that great fun will be had by all participants regardless
of the propagation conditions. I look forward to harnessing the momentum
this contest has developed under the leadership of K5ZD and respecting
the legacy of former directors K6AW, N8BJQ, and W8IMZ.'
CQ Publisher Ross noted that 'in my early talks with Terry, he has
already offered several innovative ideas. Plus, he brings with him the
valuable perspective of the low-power contester. I am looking forward to
working with him as WPX Contest Director.'
The CQ World Wide WPX Contests are the second-most popular amateur
radio contests in the world (after the CQ World Wide DX Contests). The
SSB portion of the 2013 WPX Contest is this weekend, March 30-31; the CW
weekend is in May. Any questions regarding the 2013 WPX Contests should
be directed to Terry via e-mail to <director@cqwpx.com>.
We thank K5ZD for his dedicated service to the WPX Contests and look
forward to a seamless transition to N4TZ's administration of the event."
