CQ World Wide DX Contest Director Doug Zwiebel, KR2Q, has announced that he, Scott Robbins, W4PA, and Bob Naumann, W5OV, will serve as CQ WW DX Contest co-directors.

“We will all share the various tasks of ‘director,’ and we all will provide backup or contingency coverage for each other for most, if not all, aspects of CQ WW Committee leadership,” Zwiebel explained. “We are all equals.”

Robbins and Naumann are veteran contesters and well-known within the Amateur Radio community. Formerly Amateur Radio product manager for Ten-Tec, Robbins now is the proprietor of Vibroplex.
