[CQ-Contest] How about an updated article

[David Thompson]

Martin VK7GN poined out the CQ WW article referred to was in the August 1981 
CQ issue written by Doug Zweibel WB2VYA now KR2Q.   Someone pointed out the 
examples are all hand written logs
but reading through the tips most are still good today.  The problems with 
the 10 minute rule for Multi-Single are still with us today.

Its about time the article "Working the CQ WW Contest" was re-written to 
incorporate the new classes, the proper and ONLY uses of Packet and Web 
spots plus the skimmer and chatrooms.  The skimmer so far is for CW but can 
a SSB version be far behind.   You have that now with the band scopes sans 
call signs.

This way the CQ WW Insiders could fully explain how the contests are run, 
logged, and judged.   An updated list of CQ WW Committee Members and 
Consultants would be in order.  I do not think many contesters realize what 
is required to pull off the effort between getting the logs and producing a 
final results.

The article should be in CQ as the primary sponsor with a copy included in 
the CQ Web page plus several other places that Contesters should and would 
read.

This way many of the questions would be answered that seem to come up each 
contest season.

How about it?
