The CQ WW 160 meter Contest Committee has three items on the table for
discussion. Please feel free to post this on any club bulletin board.
Notice the closing date for comments on each. Any changes
would begin with the 2000 contests except where noted:
Item 1.0 Stations operating from disputed areas with calls not assigned
by proper authorities will not be allowed to compete for awards in the
contests and will be listed as check logs. These contacts will be similar
to martime mobile contacts for credit (no multipliers). Immediate
implementation. Applies to 1998 and forward.
1.1 Alternative to 1.0. Contacts with stations operating with improper
calls as in 1.0 will not count for points credit. Applies to year 2000 on
if adopted.
Examples of such stations include call prefixes include (improper/correct):
1X/UA; 4N4, 4O4, YU4, YT4, YZ4/T9; 1B/5B4
ITEM 2.0 DX stations will send a preselected number (of their choice).
This number is to be between 00 and 999 (3 digits max, 2 min). Suggested
is age or power. This is proposed as the location currently sent is
confusing.
ITEM 3.0 There has been numerous claims and counterclaims about QRP
participants. The proposal is to eliminate the QRP category and have two
levels: Low power to 200W output and high power anything above 200W
output.
Item 3.1 Alternative to 3.0 Add single operator assisted and make low
power be 100W output.
Cut off date for all items is 1 December 1998. Send your ideas (please be
brief) to cq160@contesting.com or the Director via mail.
Please note Item 1.0 cut off date is 15 September 1998 as this needs to be
reflected in the 1998 results to be printed in the December 1998 CQ
magazine. All or none of the issues may or may not be adopted!
