So i received an email from the CQWW Contest Committee. I will be reclassified to an "Administrative Checklog" for the 2017 CQWW SSB Contest. This is because i am placing in the top 5 of the QRP Cate

I would have thought this applied only to the top five overall scores, not top scores in individual categories. With the possible exception of the All Band Assisted/Non-Assisted and perhaps All Band
You say you compete for fun. Why not just leave it at that. I would just ignore the contest committee and tell them 'FU' for being so unreasonable. Compete and have fun using your rules; that is what
Jim, As far as I am aware this rule is for the top 5 in all SOAB categories. I really cant say about the single band efforts. This is really disheartening to be subject to this. I would however accep
Scott; we feel your pain Entering the CQWW contest we agree to the declaration part of the rules. Of course, it doesnt mean that we dont think the recording rule is dumb and we are pleased to see oth
Are they requesting files from all categories for the top 5 or did they happen to single you out for some reason........Not sure what a voice log is going to show in regards to power. Sadly unintende
Doug, Yes I do compete for fun, its nice to try beat my own scores from the past. If I do somehow put in a score that is up near the top of the rankings then excellent. I always abide by the rules, t
That is just WRONG. I dont ever expect to be top 20, let alone top 5. So I dont record. But I work hard, hoping for maybe #37 or #40. The some enchanted weekend the moon and the stars and the antenna
It happened to me in 2016 as well, so I donīt send any log since then. After the results were published I checked them and sent an email to the person who requested the recording. Of course I got no
Scott, Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there more to this story than your telling? That is, the use MM0LID for many years, which was a bogus call, and not having HF privileges? Barry W2UP As far a
I am curious, OK, say he did have a recording and sent it in. What do they do with it? Joe WB9SBD Sig The Original Rolling Ball Clock Idle Tyme Idle-Tyme.com http://www.idle-tyme.com On 1/27/2018 2:5

IMHO it cant't work in any competition to apply different rulings amongst the participants of the same category. You can have a separate category or league where all the selected have to play by diff
Given Scotts past history operating as MM0LID, that may have landed him squarely under the microscope. _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.co
While I think we can all feel MM3AWD's frustration of not thinking he would be in the top 5 and be asked for something he didn't have, the fact is the "administrative check log" is the right tool for
It's a stupid rule that is no longer necessary. The guy who was recently, famously DQd wasn't caught because of a recording, he was caught by SDR recordings of band activity. A guy in Cypress was DQd
What has went on with anything other than the MM3AWD entry has nothing to do with this subject. IF that is the back story to the questioning.. then why was I not asked to provide proof of licence? I
Someone inadvertently places high in their category, can't provide a recording upon request, and the effort by the op essentially didn't happen. (Administrative Check Log) Someone submits their log 2

It is the right tool if you want to continue to alienate participants and minimize their efforts. Contests are going to get real boring if we continue to chase off the casual op even if they happen
Why would that have anything to do with the contest. How is that related? So now we penalize stuff for things they did in the past and not even in the contest? Wow! It happened to me in 2016 as
