Recording 24 october 2009 in CQ WW DX SSB Contest D44AC, RZ3AXX, 4L8A, SU1KM, 4L0A

I just received an e-mail from Box Cox CQWW Contest Director regarding CQWW Observer program. You can read the e-mail at the end of this post.

I think everyone has noticed that the CQWWCC is becoming more and more open and carries on a dialogue with the contest community.

Computer technologies now let us make more QSOs in the contests, every year we see new equipment and computer software offered to help us achieve higher results in the contest activities.

We would like to take this opportunity to inform you of a change to rule XII of the CQ WW DX contest.

The battle for Ukrainian representation on Moscow WRTC 2010 gains strength so we see more publications in different contest-related media.

We persist that the station, named in this "analysis", actually called us during the contest, and we are interested not less than the rest of the readers who is standing behind those callsigns.

Latest contests refereeing is the subject being discussed widely. So how the contest refereeing is being made?

My motivaton for writing this article was my (RG3K, op. UA3QDX) disqualification in CQWW CW-2008 and so-called "private" disqualification(?) in RDXC-2009.

Recently the organizers of probably the most popular contest - CQWW – started to publish the logs of the participants after log checking.

When CQ WW DX Contest start open log policy many radioamateurs start examinate the logs and even some groups of radio amateurs is start making own analyze of the logs.

A competitor contacted by the CQ WW Contest Commmittee prior to the contest must agree to a scheduled visitation by a representative of the CQ WW CC during the contest.

Just listened for two of them (could not resist lauhging, but physicians say laughing is health-giving).

D4C team is not present in the winners list so the circulating rumors about disqualification of the D4C team have been confirmed: I4YSS, I4UFH, IZ4DPV, CT1ESV. This has also been confirmed by the D4C project team.
