I can understand those who feel there should be zero credit for working one's own country, as this is supposed to be a DX contest we're talking about. The focus is on working DX, etc. Then explain to

you call 'CQ DX' or 'CQ outside USA', or just tell them 'no stateside, only dx' when they call you. or just log them and be done with it. making them all NIL will not affect most of them since they w

Its time for the contest I have thought this for years also. Not sure why CQ magazine won't allow you to work your own country, unless they want to make sure that the USA doesn't win the contest. Alo

I had about 5% of all my QSOs with other W/K stations. 18 or so of those Qs were (from my perspective) legitimate as the counted either for W/K as a new zone or and/or a new DXCC country. And I can c

If you NIL the contacts, it WILL get noticed by the log check and your log will probably be disqualified. The problem with the rule is that zone and country multiplier credit count for the other stat

That is indeed a startling (and unfortunate for you) statistic. A couple of thoughts ... 1. The majority of those zero pointers probably came from people who haven't read the rules and won't be submi

Sorry to disagree with my M/M host, but I feel strongly that all the US stations who work us deserve to be in the log. We have no way of knowing who needs us for zone credit. At least from the 15 met

I've always found it to be the case in contests where USA QSO's are "zero pointers" that if you work some of them, they will request QSL's. A lot of these people are mildly interested in contesting b

Having to work one's own zone/country for mult credit, but zero point QSO value is silly. Yes, I've lost an occasional mult because a stateside station didn't bother to log me. The problem can easily

I would encourage people to look beyond CQ WW on this issue. For example, what if 5 of those zero pointers were ID, ND, SD, AK and WY? You erase them from memory this time and they may erase you from
