Doug, KR2Q, the new CQWW Contest Director, has implemented a triumvirate leadership structure for the Committee's work. Scott, W4PA, and Bob, W5OV, join Doug to share in leading the Committee. More i

This is quite an innovation. If this works out, perhaps we could apply it in other circumstances. Companies could have three CEOs. Why should your country have just one Prime Minister or President
Hi Dave, Your comments about the "triumvirate" now running the CQWW contests are very unfair. 1. This is a VOLUNTEER position. 2. There are many discreet tasks to be performed, so one of the three ca
qrz.com shows that all LIVE in the golden eastern half of NA. So VERY unlikely that anything will happen to make these contests interesting for stations contesting outside the Atlantic basin. 73, Jim
It may be a bit early to prejudge the fitness of Bob or Scott to the roles of co-managers. Id rather judge someone by what he or she does, rather than by residency. While its true that in their conte
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but Bob Cox, K3EST, who as most of us know was the CQ Contest Director for many, many years (Thanks, Bob!! :-) ), lived and continues to live in California. Just toss
Does anyone other than perhaps 0.000000000001% of the readers on this channel actually think that a contest committee member's QTH has anything to do with how the contest is managed? I mean, really?
I don't know. Didn't anyone else realize that the original wisecrack about new directors all being very fortunate enough to have come from New Jersey was intended as a little joke? Besides, it was ni

Other than moving some tectonic plates, what do you suggest would make CQ WW more interesting for those not bordering the Atlantic Ocean? Not useful to complain without offering a suggestion. Randy,

hi randy et all, how about: each Japanese call area counting for a country? (been discussed before) point structure changed to: W1, W2, W3, W4,W5, W8, W9 and W0 contacts to Europe changed to a point

Well here's my suggestion that always disappears in every smoke-filled CAC meeting - The CQ WW would be more interesting, not to mention far more fair, for the competitors in SA, AF, AS and OC to be

Judging by the popularity I think many would disagree. John KK9A To me, the CQWW contests are the dumbest of all -- except for a few countries like UA, VE, and K, all you have to copy is the call, be
