There have been problems getting the web site updated with recent results, but this is to confirm that the Autumn EU Sprint contests will take place as usual, starting with the phone contest on Satur
Really sorry to see you say this Randy. There are plenty of us who don't operate using the crutch of cluster. DARC ruined WAE by not making a distinction between unassisted and assisted and now I don
Given that use of DX cluster is almost universal amongst DXers, it might be seen as surprising that only 33 percent of single ops in CQWW use it. Like George, I do not think there are huge numbers of
Hi Tonno This is a great illustration that numbers can be used to support any argument! The 1/3 -2/3 split came from figures supplied by Randy. I am prepared to believe that some casual entrants fail
Mike W0MU asks "Isn't the internet just another tool in the tool box?" and Ray ND8L says "packet is nothing more than ANOTHER "relevant technology assist."" Let's consider this. In the next CQWW I de
This is a reminder that the EU CW Sprint takes place today Saturday 13th with the Phone Sprint next Saturday. The contest time is 16.00-19.59UTC, on 20, 40 and 80m. Exchange BOTH callsigns, serial nu
The results from the Spring EU Sprint contests are at this site http://rk3awl.ru/eusprint/ But we still need to find a new webmaster for the permanent site - any volunteers? The next EU Sprint contes

With thanks to Dima RW3FO, the latest EU Sprint results are at http://www.rk3awl.ru/eusprint There is a problem with the EU Sprint web site right now, apologies for this but the webmaster is very dif
Unfortunately there is an error in the date of the EU Sprint contests and we have an unresponsive webmaster so we cannot get it corrected. This year's CW contest takes place on Saturday 11th October
So Doug, by the same logic do you believe ARRL and perhaps other contest sponsors should remove the distinction between single and multi-op since it is hard for the checkers to tell the difference? M
But if your only concern is cheating between unassisted and assisted that could addressed by the same solution! Therefore no need to combine the categories. 73, Dave G4BUO ___________________________

Wrong, Mike. With upgraded antennas and a good team, M6T made our worst-ever multi-multi score of just over 8M, having set the Eu record at 29.3M in 1999 which stood for 12 years. Conditions were tru
With so many people migrating from CW/SSB to FT8, our bands appear empty to potential intruders. It's not surprising they are going to try their luck taking our frequencies. Those who are now spendin
I am another who is really disappointed to see this change, which has come out of the blue without any consultation. The blog entry starts out talking of the Multi Distributed category and only in th
