Well, CQ WPX CW 2009 has just ended and propogation was perfect for the contest.

Its allways interesting to study how contesters is running the pileup Here you can listen for 4O3A audio file of his operation in CQ WW SSB 2007

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.

In May, 2009, George, VP2VQ, will have some exciting news about future Contest-Pedition and DX-Pedition opportunities on Tortola

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.

What an incredible experience from one of the world’s premier stations and locations! Great contest with a roller-coaster ride of exhilarating moments and more than few “others” in the downside column.

This year of 2008 was very hard, I was very busy at my work. I failed to put into practice part of my plans of improving the station and installing new antennas. So there were no any serious projects for SSB contest. Entering SSB on LF bands from my QTH seems to be prospectless. I mostly wanted to work missing US states to complete 5BWAS.

Many of us are in the process of preparation for this contest, but some contesters have already lost their chances for participation. For example, Radio-Sport website reports some losers from Russia, Ukraine and some other countries.

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.

Here we go, as promised, a brief review of the CQ WW DX 2008 results. Of course, not all of the results and categories are here but only a few.
