[CQ-Contest] CQ WPX SSB Raw Scores posted

Yes that is how it works, Stan.  This is an unusual occurrence do to the high point location of Ceuta and Melilla, the WPX double point 40m scoring system and also a great effort by EF9R.  If he wanted to win all band he could have IF he chose that category when submitting his log but I am sure that he is happier with having this huge single band score.

Obviously it has to do with what category you enter when you submit your log.  If you operate low power and have the highest score overall, you could enter the high power category.  Similarly, if you operated single band 40m from a location where you can work another continent 24 hours a day at double points (not a bad choice even if you want to go for SOAB), you don't have to enter as single band 40.  D4C could submit as SOAB and potentially win it all.

Why? ABHP does not require that you run more than 100 watts or that you
operate on all bands.

The single band doesn't win.

In fact, I don't even think low power scores will beat high power even if
they are in the same operator category.
