[CQ-Contest] August CQ Magazine Online (sort of)

        I was searching CQ Magazine's site for an e-mail address
to check my subscription expiration and was quite surprised to 
see several new features on the Website for the August issue which
includes the CQ WW SSB results:

http://www.cq-amateur-radio.com/August%202002%20Highlights.html

"Next, we've got the contest results themselves, with expanded results
here on the CQ website.  These include: Expanded "QRM" (operator
comments); Station Operators at Multi-op Stations; Top Scores in Very
Active Zones; Zone Leaders (Single Op); and expanded Team
Contesting results."

Only the 'Expanded QRM' and 'Station Operators at Multi-op Stations'
hyperlinks are active at the moment but I assume the others will be 
put online soon.  I guess ARRL's expanded online reports have 
stimulated CQ to do the same!  Thanks CQ!

P.S.  Now I wonder when the CQ WW Contest Records will be updated?
Some of those records are now 2 years old:

Don't be confused ... WRTC is an invitation-only event.  Only 42 (41?)
stations participated.

IARU is a world wide "open" event.

We only participate in WRTC as contacts.  Our log submissions were, for our
purposes, only checklogs.

The only awards I am aware of were prizes (somewhat random) for submitting a
checklog.

IARU will have rankings of all participants.

Hope this helps ...
