My full respect and appreciation to CQ, the CQWW CC for reconsidering the
initial decision now again allowing all international Ham Radio Contesting
community participate in the greatest of all contests!
Looking forward to working you all this weekend in true feeling of Ham
Spirit!
Let us also hope that we all are mature enough to accept this decision and
not put personal agendas in front of the interest and respect for our
common fantastic worldwide hobby independent from political and religious
differences...
Long live CQ WW Contest and True Internatiomal Ham Spirit without politics!
