Let's test that assertion.
For the 2004 CQWW Phone and CQWW CW contests I compared the
high-claimed, unassisted scores, as reported to the 3830 reflector, with
the final results, published in the August and September 2005 CQ
magazines. I was specifically looking for changes in the category, or
results that were reported on 3830, but missing in CQ magazine. I looked
only at the top-10 USA, World and Europe scores in the all-band and
single-band categories.
Here's what I found:
CQWW Phone 2004
Call 3830 Claimed Category CQ Magazine Category
W5PR SOSB/10/HP Not listed in final results
OE4A SOAB/HP SOAB/HP/Assisted
S57M SOSB/160/HP Not listed in final results
HA8FW SOSB/160/LP Not listed in final results
CQWW CW 2004
N6RV SOSB/10/LP Not listed in final results
W7WW(K7QQ) SOSB/15/HP Not listed in final results
W0AH SOSB/20/LP Not listed in final results
N7DD SOSB/40/HP Not listed in final results
3V8BB(YT1AD) SOAB/HP Not listed in final results
KP3Z(NP4Z) SOAB/LP Not listed in final results
T99W SOSB/40/HP Not listed in final results
SN2N(SP2ASJ) SOSB/80/LP Not listed in final results
Maybe it's possible that the logs were never sent in, although I can't
understand whey someone would go through the trouble of posting a top-10
score on 3830, but not e-mailing the Cabrillo file to CQWW. It's also
possible that CQ magazine accidently left out some scores - although
that seems unlikely for a top-10 score.
