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.

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!

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”)
