302. [CQ-Contest] Why some Caribean Islands compete as South America (score: 1)

Fernando, The short answer is because these islands are in South America. Similarly, to PJ2T being in S America and making it impossible for a Brazilian to win South America, it is just as impossible

It sounds so easy doesn't it? Drop a remote HF station on a remote island like Bouvet and suddenly its on all the time? Really? First you have to get there, then you need to set it up, then you need

I believe in the statement that you don't solve a problem that isn't a problem. CQWW and CQWPX are the fastest growing contests in our sport folks. Those who think that somehow the lack of a level pl

SCP does assist, there no doubt about that. However, even in the spirit of the rules, it does not make you "assisted" or "unlimited" depending on the contest. Stu, you are being influenced by the wor

There is a reason why CQWW and ARRL DX are uniquely fun based on the format. There seems to be a constant theme of trying to have a global - all band contest with the CQ WW 160 or ARRL 10 Meter forma
