Hi
Question is quite difficult
Of course is better for all of as if results will be avaible on the site but
on the same time number of CQ subscribers will go down for sure because I dont
believe that some contesters will still spend money to have subscribtion if
they are will see results in Internet
For example I become member of ARRL and have QST now only with the reason to
see my ubns
CQ CC committee today is best in accurate with my opinion checking logs very
carefully
On the same time Im not very happy with penalties they are have in the rules
I agree to be penalized if I get call incorrect but if Im not in the log of
someone I dont think I need to be penalize
There is the situation when I work some station on 4 bands in WPX CW contest
and in ubn I see that Im not in the log after while I receive e-mail from one
of the person and he approve to me that I was in his log
We all humans and can make mistakes
CQ today sponsoring lot of contests and I think we need to support CQ also
like they are supporting as
CQ is dont sending certificates for the contest and thats very very bad
Thats reduce activity from some rare countries
I remember days when we receive CQ certificates accurately and activity from
Georgia (4L) was much much higher then now
Saying that people dont need certificates for the contest its the same like
say that DXers dont need QSL
Thats not correct atll with my opinion
For my operation from D4 today I receive
WW
All plaques no certificates
WPX
Plaque 2002 and certificate
Nothing for 2003,2004
CQ WW 160
No plaques no certificates
ARRL DX
I receive everything and very quickly but I will prefer that they are mention
which place in the world and continent
Difference between ARRL and CQ anyway is in CQ nobody is get money for that
and I think thats a problem
I think thats reason Bob K3EST say that in CW contest I was ill and thats not
true because I was ill in SSB contest and in CW contest I stop because
equipment fault
Bob is dont have time to check propably because he is busy with another work
I offer several time help to CQ to help them out to send certificate
I offer them human and financial aid but its not accepted
I offer CQ also help with the trophies and trophies like subscribtion for CQ
I think many people will be happy to get subscribtion for CQ like trophy for
good result in the contest but its also not accepted
I really dont know what to do but for sure something need to be change
We talking about new generation of the contesters but I dont think we can
expect that if we will not care about certificates,contest results etc
Im sorry but some time its looks that we have different contest and CQ WW CC
different and not connected to each other atall
