Aihe: [3830] CQ 160 DX Exchange Survey


> 
>         The CQ 160 Contests currently use a DX exchange which consists
> of RST + country abbreviation.  The latter is redundant with the callsign 
> and is sometimes confusing since some operators use abbreviations and 
> some use prefixes (e.g. "ER" can be European Russia or it can be Moldova).
> Starting with the 2003 running of the contest, the CQ 160 Committee is
> considering changing the DX exchange ONLY and would like your input. 
> Remember that you must correctly copy this exchange through heavy QRM, 
> QSB and QRN and it should be easily recognizable for casual contest 
> participants that haven't read the latest rules.
> 
> NOTE: CQ does NOT intend to change the character or record comparability 
> of the most successful worldwide 160 contest (e.g. change the scoring 
> based on Grid Square distance like the Stew Perry).
> 
> Which of the following do you prefer for the DX exchange in additon to RST:
> 
>       o Leave "as is" (abbreviations...SI for Slovenia, ER for Russia, etc) 
>       o Nothing (RST only as in ARRL 160) 
>       o Output power (Watts) 
>       o Age 
>       o Grid Square 
>       o Serial number 
>       o Zone (WAZ or ITU)

> P.S.  A similar survey in March resulted in the CQ Committee implementing
> a time format change including consideration of an operating time limit 
> so they DO consider your inputs!
