The 2021 CQ WW WPX RTTY, SSB and CW contests will include a new Multi-Transmitter Distributed category. Stations operating in this category may have a maximum of six transmitted signals, one per band
I am sorry to see the unassisted category eliminated from the WPX contests. It was so much fun! I imagine that CQWW will eventually do the same. John KK9A QSO alerting systems will now be permitted i
<snip> QSO alerting systems will now be permitted in all CQ WW WPX SSB and CW Single Operator categories, except the Single Operator Classic Overlay categories. That's a weasel way of announcing that
hello Bud well, my idea was to ask, after CQWW CW, for a rule change in CQWW and CQ WPX to ask for audio recording ALSO to assisted stations and for more entries, not just World and Continent top sco
Regarding spot use, glad to see some more contests moving with reality, Bud! I operated just a few hours in SS CW on Sunday afternoon. It's always interesting to see how quickly some prec A/B guys fi
Does it mean that "Classic" sub-category operators won't be allowed to operate more than 24 hours? My understanding was that CQ WPX (same as in CQ WW DX) allowed more than 24 hours of operation and o
I don't understand this at all as same time this contest has Classic-overlay. Do they mean that: "Classic overlay is a whismy and not a real class and is not needed to check for cheating"? 36-hour c
I expect that it will be like the CQ WW where only the first 24 hours of operating time counts for the classic overlay score. Will be clear when the new rules hit the web page. Randy K5ZD --Original
As someone who develops logging/SDR software for unassisted use, this statement is false and a bad excuse for the decision to eliminate single op. It is very easy to distinguish: if the software ca

The more troubling change to me is the essentially no-limits distributed multiops. Competitive Multi-op, especially multi-multi, over the years has been a category for conspicuous consumption station
Current WPX Rule: /3. Classic Operator (CLASSIC): The entrant will use only one radio, no QSO finding assistance, and the one radio must not be able to receive while transmitting. Operator Assisted e

As I read the rules, there is a category for the un-assisted. Behold! - - - VI. ENTRY CATEGORIES: A. Single Operator Categories:One person (the operator) performs all operating and logging functions.
It's a new M/M category, not a replacement for the existing M/M category. It's an "addition", not a "change". What causes that to be such a bad idea? Maybe it is, but I'm having a difficult time
Hi Tor, Where is the problem ? Check the score database and you'll see that SO unassisted scores are higher than assisted most of the time so... 73 de Dimitri F4DSK Télécharger BlueMail pour Android

Why even bother to have a distributed category? It's so EASY to setup one station to remote into. In fact I did it with someone in CA who wasn't even setup as a remote station beforehand for the Cal
I am very disappointed that the CQ WPX Contests eliminated single operator categories. It isn't a merger - there is nothing left of the single operator category rules. Unfortunately, now the internet
As the result of this rule change announcement, operators who prefer to operate without assistance are left with a single choice: 'Classic' . But even this entry option has been substantially modifie
