Let me pass this invitation from PY4WAS to all CW contesters to participate in CQMM contest on APRIL 16-17. This contest is CW only.

The station had been dragged kicking and screaming into the 20th century (not yet into the 21st century though!) with the addition of a rotator for 15m the week prior to the contest.

Actually, the messages, which I’ve got copies of, are enough to understand the situation. Randy, K5ZD, has firmly stated his position that UA9BA will not be give the status of an official observer, but K5ZD will accept and consider Willy’s report.

There are many emails, phone calls (where people get my number?) daily. There is only topic – will or will not RD3A let UA9BA visit his station EF8M during CQ WW WPX CW in May.

The Australian Contest Scene is dominated by the VK Contest Club - this club is unique... it was formed by Mirek VK6DXI, Nick VK2DX ,Mike VK4DX , Bernd VK2IA and Sergey VK2IMM.

I know Jim for many years. We have been exchanging letters and talking on air since Cold War time. I have learned a lot about contesting from Jim.

The following article is based on the messages from Contest-RU mail reflector , and well, not only. I’d like to remind briefly that Willy (UA9BA) has expressed an opinion that Val (RD3A) is using help of Alexander (RZ3AZ) while operating as Single Op in contests.Igor (RG3K) has supported Willy.

There has been a Dark Side to the Force that has worked to diminish fun for some as ham radio operators. Previously it had landed solidly in DXing, with some operators of reasonable skill, claiming to on certain islands, or in certain countries, yet thousands of miles distant.

The last week the most discussed topic at contestru was Valery Komarov's, RD3A, operation in contests.Many subscribers publically and privately accused Komarov that Alexander Gimanov, RZ3AZ, operates instead, or together with him.

Looking at the spots after CQ WW WPX Contest 2010, I was "astonished" seeing 3V8CB Station QRV on 40. I still the only local CW Operator in 3V land and I as far as I know, using CW skimmers is not allowed according the contest rules.

After CQ WPX SSB CC made log public(Thanks, great job!) I was thinking: may I check “big guns” logs? If I participate as part of M/M, M/S etc., can I work my club station
