I just read this article: http://www.radio-sport.net/hk_ra3co2.htm Is this official? I mean the DQ... Does it mean that every station operating from a DX location (especially guest ops) and making it
Well, then how, for instance, about a bunch of Europeans answering split-CQ's of the U.S. stations below 7040? A lot of them are not allowed to run SSB below that frequency. Should the CQ WW committe
Ken, IMO, the CQ WW Contest rules paragraph "XXII. DQ: Violation of amateur radio regulations in the country of the contestant..." does not make any difference for DQ grounds. A lot of EU countries h
Well, unfortunately this year was not very fortunate for "humans against machine" run in Dayton. According to my observations, Doug W9WI (the closest among "humans" to beat "the machine") did not hav
My apologies. Of course, I know K1TO and I know that he is Dan, not Doug. Just my stupid typo. I hope he is not angry at me. :-))) Yuri VE3DZ _______________________________________________ CQ-Contes
Tony, That's what happened when you try to please everybody... Too much politics nowadays, even in HAM Radio. :-(( Long live WRTC! Yuri VE3DZ _______________________________________________ CQ-Contes

Some of you probably heard about tragic event that happened in Russia last week. It's more sad to learn that one of the killed was our fellow contester, Andy RU1AO. He was returning home from Moscow
I experienced the very same thing during my recent 8P operation. Lots of guys just click on you and then keep on calling, calling... Sometimes they do not stop calling even when you answer them... :-
I worked a guy who was using "500 mW" which is a half of a watt. How should I log it? N1MM Logger does not accept "0.5" or ".5" as a number. Thanks. Yuri VE3DZ _______________________________________

Yeah, just very little thing left - to inform and to explain all of this to some 5,000+ casual CQ-WW participants. 73 Yuri VE3DZ _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing li
