CQ WW DX SSB Contest 2008 results is quite interesting. My congratulations to Rich N6KT for his 8th win in that contest and Im happy he back to our hobby.
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.
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.
The methods of HF contest refereeing have been discussed widely during the last few years.
Discussions are waged both by contest committees and contestants in various contest reflectors and web-forums.
CQ WW 160m CW was a very promising event this year as we stuck an the bottom of the solar cycle so the low bands were good and the DX-activity in the contest was very high.
A full 48 hours all-band contest effort with no sleep was not appealing to me, so I chose a strategy to enter the 20 Meter Single Operator Single Band category.
