CQ Amateur Radio Hall of Fame

[Mark Whittington]

Congratulations, Terry!

As an aside, I was perusing the linked PDF list of previous nominees and
was surprised to see that the President of the Republic of Indonesia (HoF
Class of 2015, listed at the bottom of the last page) held US callsign
WY2JKW, and so I went off and started googling to figure out how a foreign
head of state held a US call.  Apparently that was more curiosity than the
writer (and one assumes at least one editor) at CQ had, because as it turns
out, he doesn't -- his callsign is actually YD2JKW.

Sent CQ an e-mail, now I'm curious to see how long it takes them to fix it.
