I think that's a good suggestion, Mike. Looks like KI6RRN is about 4th in SOAB HP. That's very good! If you aren't on East Coast you need better antennas than you would need if you were a W1. The sen
You have altogether too much time on your hands, Mike. Actually, it's not a bad idea, but they still need to do something about the CQWW exchange. With zones, it's just a callsign-copying contest.
CQ already has a world wide contest with serial numbers in the exchange. John KK9A They still need to do something about the CQWW exchange. With zones, it's just a callsign-copying contest. I'm for s

CQWW is a callsign and zone numbers copying test, since 30% or more USA stations are in a different zone that the callsign assigned 73, Jorge CX6VM/CW5W <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=em
Well, sort of. The WPX mults make for a unique profile. One could still use band/zones as mults in the "new CQWWCW". 73, Pete N4ZR Check out the Reverse Beacon Network at <http://reversebeacon.net>
Pete, Do "they" need to do something about one of your favorites CWopsT contest? With N1MM call history "ON" you just type call-sign, hit space and correspondent's name and membership number are ther
All of them don't have to have a serial number or something difficult to copy. I can tell you that when CQ eliminated the serial number in their 160 contest it became a lot more fun. It is not fun e
I really like WPX. It's just too bad the CW one is in the northern summer, when the weather is nice and the propagation isn't. 73, Scott K9MA 73, Pete N4ZR Check out the Reverse Beacon Network at <ht
The simplicity of call sign copying contests like CQ WW and CWops nay be a major factor in their popularity. High activity makes operating fun. For many, operating is more important than their res
+1 There is something for everyone in CQ WW the way it is today. Sounds like a need for an all band WW Stew Perry contest with 4 digit grid exchange and QRB distance for points instead of 1-2-3 poi

The problem is that the path from the west coast to EU is over the pole, where signals tend to be greatly absorbed. This is unlike the east coast, which has a direct shot to EU. Perhaps a better solu

Good point. But to be totally honest, CWT is not really a Contest, but Club event. Can not be compared with CQ WW IMHO. 73, Yuri VE3DZ Do "they" need to do something about one of your favorites CWop
You make a good point Ed. I don't like CW SS because I'm not a very good CW op, relatively speaking - and you need to have some actual CW skill to do well in SS. CQ WPX CW is easy to work and for a

The number of hams who have a directional receive array in ARRL 160 is quite small compared to the number of stations who get on for ARRL 160. Maybe 1 in 20. 73 Rich NN3W ____________________________
IMHO the rules are the rules if you don't like them do not participate, but if you do, don't complaint. It is almost impossible to find a solution for all, there are huge stations using huge amount o
Perhaps a better solution would be to treat the members of the EU as a single entity for multi. This would make the situation quite similar to JA, where there are lots of Qs, but just one mult. Once
I agree with Steve, and will add a little more info. When the IARU HF Championship began around 1977, with only ITU Zones as multipliers, it was possible to win from areas in the world where it was u
