This article has been written earlier, but I decided to publish it after the january 15 th, the CQWW DX CW 2008 log submission deadline. It has been discussed for a very long time that the logs should be submitted in a short term period after the contest, but nothing has been done yet.

I think that everyone who had ever visited the D4B or D4C would have noticed that the training is having place in immediate proximity to D4B/D4C position.

CQ WW DX SSB 2008 as all the other contests was full of intrigues. I would like to take up the points which are the most interesting to me.

A fairytale is a lie (not this one), but has a lesson for the youngsters!

Great video describing radioamateur activity from Antarctica

I think its better in this situation HK3CQ stay quired because his private interest is showed in this subject very openly

As a good teaching aid I used the recording of K9PG operating ZF2MM in ARRL SSB. Very much usefull listening. Of course I do not appeal to copy somebody's style exactly.

There is an excited discussion now in CQ-Contest reflector, sometimes turning into opposition, concerning "open logs".

I wanted to publish this summary later, but finally decided to do it now. Although ARRL DX CW 2009 will take place in more than a month, many contesters are already concerned about "where to go?". I believe that this information will help them to make a final decision.

There are only 2 more qualifying tests left in the selection race to the WRTC 2010. These are - RDXC 2009 and “On site championship of Russian Federation” (I am talking here about Russians). I would like to share some thoughts about selection Formula or “Selection criteria for participation in”World Radiosport Team Championship 2010” (“WRTC 2010”)

A rare opportunity presented itself in July 2004 when I was invited by Alexander, 4L5A to assist him with hardware upgrading at his D44TT/D4B contest location before the WAE CW contest.

A few words about operators. Not all of the team members were “superoperators” and big contesters. However, the sum total of the team proves otherwise. Under normal circumstances, it takes only a few good operators to run a 24-hour operation.

From Scott Robbins (W4PA) article "The 2005 ARRL International DX CW Contest. Is now the "good old days" of contesting?"
