> CQ Reconsiders Policy on Crimea in CQ Contests

>  

> In response to requests from a large number of contesters around the world,
> CQ has reconsidered its decision regarding the acceptance of logs from
> stations in Crimea in CQ-sponsored contests. 

>  

> As CQ Publisher Dick Ross, K2MGA, explained, "a large portion of the
> contesting community felt that we were unfairly denying our fellow amateurs
> in Crimea of the opportunity to fully participate in our contests. Since the
> country list for CQ contests is based on a combination of the Worked All
> Europe (WAE) and ARRL DXCC lists, and the ARRL has already adopted a policy
> regarding Crimean stations in its award and contest programs, we will amend
> our policy to be consistent with the ARRL's DXCC policy."

>  

> "Therefore, the listings of Crimean stations submitting logs for CQ contests
> will be based on the call sign under which they have operated. If they used
> Russian-issued calls in the contest, they will be listed under Russia; if
> they used Ukrainian-issued calls in the contest, they will be listed under
> Ukraine. This change reflects not only the desire of many contesters around
> the world, but also of a large majority of members of the CQ World Wide DX
> Contest Committee."
