Good discussion. Really I don't see the point of encouraging domestic contacts in CQWWDX. More domestic QSO's will on the other hand impact on DX contacts i.e. a DX will be last in a queue to work th
Hi All, This was a good topic to follow. I must be in a minority here but I see a very little good in introducing more divisions in contest categories in CQWW. Everyone knows that is a long contest a
One should still make an effort to get those multipliers and often that means installing an antenna only to make 2-3 QSOs on that band. Certainly the M/M stations are the likely candidates to be work

I was reading with interest recent debate discussing purity of contest results. It appears that most operators who submit logs are interested in the result analysis which help figuring out what other
As it seemed to evolve into another topic where everyone have to have an opinion here is my comment. We seem to contest in the way we find it to be most fun. Some prefer using DX cluster spots while
Going off topic with recent debates. Has someone got real comparative data on the ultimate out of passband attenuation of an YK88C versus a similar Inrad filter #98? Kenwood quotes this figure to be

I also find that 2 points within NA is a kind of odd rule. Even more, operating from W6 lately I would rather prefer to have 1 point within NA but to allow 1 point QSOs between the states in USA to k
Driving distance perhaps. Direct path is just over 5000km to be correct. On the other hand UA3 to UA9 path is well positioned and scores nicely. Sergey VK2IMM ................ Rich, For the record. T
