[CQ-Contest] CQWW Madness

[Ed Sawyer]

"Make States and Provinces multipliers, and award 1 point for domestic QSOs.
Who knows, it might be fun."  K0SR

 

It might be fun for sure.  But it will change the best, growing, popular
contest.  How about saving a lesser one and seeing if it is in fact fun.
CQWW is already fun enough to be the most popular contest in the world.

 

"if you complain that very few young operators are joining our ranks

consider the fact that quite a number of "contest stations" on the west

coast have been organized in the last 15 years and all have quit after

finding there is no way to win."  N7DD

 

Really?  I guess they were busy on SS and NAQP weekends eh?  Is there ANY
evidence of a contest changing the rules and then attracting young people at
a greater rate because of it?  I would love to see that data.

 

Guys - stop.  Create a new fun contest designed to attract lots of young
people from the West Coast and Midwest.  I for one will join in to support
it.  Which weekend is it?
