CQWW is a callsign-copying contest - no more and no less. For CQWW, zones (whether Sent or Received) are not cross-checked - if only, as KR2Q suggests, because it would be grossly unfair to do so. Th
It seems to me that there are two related, but different, issues here. (1) Logging what was sent. IMHO, you log what was sent, even if it appears wrong. Maybe K0HB is visiting a relative and isn't op
My comment is my own opinion, and I am NOT associated with CQ WW, nor any contest except the Michigan QRP Club's contests, which are not in anyway associated with CQ WW. I'd say, IF we want to really

It's pretty easy, Doug. Goes like this. Station A sends: "599 14" Station B copies that, logs it, and sends: "TU 599 02" Station A copies that, logs it, and sends: "TU QRZ" Station A and Station B se

I am curious how zone checking is done for the IARU contest- there qso's with the "incorrect" zone ARE removed from you log. Often casual contest participants don't know their IARU zone or send their
many years ago i sent away ( i think with an sase) and i got an 81/2x11 paper map of the world with the zones outlined on it. i still have it, and use it when i am working the CQWW. and yes i do try
