[CQ-Contest] CQ WW Operation Announcement - Suggestion

[K9AY]

I'm a rare poster to cq-contest, but either I missed something or this 
thread is off track...

I see nothing in the CQWW rules that requires advance registration, although 
there is language that might -- with some imagination -- imply such a 
requirement. Perhaps a clarification from the CQWW Committee is in order, as 
no further explanation is present on the CQWW Web site.

Next, as part of the discussion, I offer two notes from my own contesting 
history:

1) In 2001, with disturbed conditions changing the game, I somehow managed 
to place #2 US, 40M Single Band High Power. There is no way I would have 
expected to be a top scorer in my category.

2) In this past January's CQWW 160M CW contest I did very, very well in the 
QRP category. Prior to the contest, I had not planned a maximum competitive 
effort, but the great conditions sucked me in.

Sometimes we get lucky -- a DQ solely because of an unclear advance notice 
requirement would be a bit disappointing.
