Hi pile up rates are nice, likewise that anything works as an antenna when the solar flux is so high, but.... With high flux numbers, hi rates, high bands opened 24h x day and people cought by the 10
Wally, also the ARRL dx, on a dx perspective, is a run contest but it doesn't desertize some bands and leaves room for strategy. 73, Mauri I4JMY -- CQ-Contest on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/_cq-co
Brian, first of all, to move in the most populated band and run (whose tactic is also the only available to increase the number of a very generic mult like pfxes) is definitely a strategy but also th
Probably it's my own interpretation, but the TS original spirit was that to start a category whose environment and antenna requirements weren't too big to allow a large group of standard equipped Ham
Why not ? Because an OWA dipole is not in a single piece ? Then, also a tapered/trapped element or even a trapped dipole (count the wires between traps) would be not allowed. In my eyes, the fashion
While I'm convinced two radios, and a smart and tailored setup when used at best, can produce a significant difference and beat the obtainable results of a single radio user in the same place, I'm no
Ridiculous ? May be, but basically not so impossible or strange since the actual "cure" to keep playing a population suffering a lack in turn over seems to be that to tailor everything to the individ
It's not impossible that even 50-100 mW into a single feed multiband antenna (i.e. a multiband yagi that's efficient and has gain also on the harmonic related band) are enough to be heard thousands k
Was a bad behaviour generating a lapsus ? Actually, there's no MM category in IARU international contest and only HQ stations can have one station per band. Multi entrants have to play as MS,or at le

Some point is still missing....: PJ is in South America while V2 is in North America. Avoiding any other consideration, V2 gets an (but useless to win) advantage over Europe in working the same conti
I don't agree with your view point because the comparison you made is not complete and what you look for is finally a gift from the organizers rather than anything else. In contesting we don't use mo
What get's easier in log checking having a serial number I can't understand. Slightly obscure is also why a DX station has the double need to "decode" a multiplier and also a serial number. This doub

Checked UBN fles of last WWDX SSB. Found removed QSOs and mults. Used Writelog, all contest digitally recorded and easy to target and listen to verify each single doubt. A number of bad QSO is instea
The CQWWDX is definitely my favourite contest also because of the great job that's behind, the accurate log checking and the respect I've for the huge effort of the committee. The weak point in the s
At medium high latitudes when the sun-cycle will be low, an "high band" category will merge more or less into a SB20 entry. 73, Mauri I4JMY -- Initial Header -- To : "cq-contest Reflector" <cq-contes
