Let's not confuse things. The CQ Contests no longer have the policy that a plaque winner one year can not win the next year. This discussion is only about whether a station should win all plaques the
I am pleased to announce that all scores for the CQ WPX CW/SSB contests since 1995 are now available in a searchable database on the www.cqwpx.com web site. You can easily search the results of any y

I hope my friend Tonno was just making a joke about logging rubbish in the WPX contest. It may have been that way in the past, but I can assure you the level of WPX log checking is quite high now. We
The WPX has a 2 QSO penalty for busted calls. Missed exchanges or other errors only lose the the one QSO. We can make the penalty more if that's what everyone wants. :) Randy, K5ZD __________________

The CQ WPX SSB Contest starts in less than 36 hours. What single band or multi-band record will CN2R set this year? Will 8P1A repeat as single operator all band champion for the fourth year in a row?
