Mats, Thanks for your thoughts. As I noted WAE & RDXC were elevated ABOVE CQWPX and IARU. RDXC & WAE certainly are enjoyed by many, they are fun contests, but they do not draw numbers of competitors
Dave, Can you support your statement regarding the number of participants in RDXC, IARU and WPX with solid figures? ARRL, that was part of 2014 WRTYC selection, for me is truly regional contest where
Igor, The submitted logs demonstrate that RDXC is VERY competitive for RU stations and ARRL is VERY competitive for U.S. stations, but much less so outside their respective countries notwithstanding
"3000 QSO in 24 hours in RDXC is not uncommon from almost anywhere." Let me tell you about Minnesota sometime :) 73 Steve K0SR Dave,Can you support your statement regarding the number of participants
If you think that the ARRL is dull from a DX location with no propagation to the U.S. try working it from an area of the U.S. with no propagation to Europe. Same with the WAE contest. With no propaga
Dave, In comparison of ARRL vs RDXC as contests suitable for selection, there is one more important point. RDXC is world wide, mixed mode 24 hour contest and therefore mimics IARU much better then AR

Yah, the USA record for QSOs in RDXC is under 2000 - and that is from a station in New England. I think folks need a little perspective on the level of activity in this event (i.e., the last time I d
ARRL used to be an exciting contest when US casual activity was higher and conditions better to Europe (I do not mean EI, F and G). We talk back in 1980 and 1990. Nowdays, the casual activity from th

The point we Yanks are trying to make is that for us, the ARRL DX test is a more active, more competitive contest than is the RDXC. I appreciate that for much of EU, the opposite is true. Which is wh
Jim, That motivation is fully logical and is worth to be considered by the German organizers. 73 de Mats RM2D _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contes

WAE is not a world-wide contest and is single mode. But it earns 1,000 points. Not seeing a consistent pattern here. 73 Rich NN3W Dave, In comparison of ARRL vs RDXC as contests suitable for selectio
Matts, On the one hand you are extolling the virtues of RDXC yet it embraces Assisted and Non Assisted as one class which is the very aspect which you are disputing with the DARC qualifying rules. I

There you go. The 2014 year where the claimed score was above 2000 QSOs. But, I thought you said that "3000 QSO in 24 hours in RDXC is not uncommon from almost anywhere." I see no evidence of that be
Just to be clear on this particular entry. It was a German guest op at an otherwise empty M/M superstation. KC1XX 2481 QSO confirmed 2013 I have operated WAE more than once and won North America Low
Rich, Actually it is 2486 QSO confirmed, not claimed. May be 3000 is only true for EU but over 2000 CONFIRMED in 24 hours which was shown by several stations in different cathegories from NA still me
In fact, I work way more DL's in WAE then I do in WAG!!!! Tim. _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/li
That would be limited to those with very good stations who are ideally located to work the most populated parts of Russia. Russia is a VERY big country, but most contesters are in the eastern parts.
