[CQ-Contest] CQWW announcements and other items of interest to contesters

[DOUGLAS ZWIEBEL]

It is very interesting to read the continuing comments about 
"recordings" and other things CQWW.


As others have commented, reading this stuff could be demotivating to 
newbies.


BUT WAIT!!!!


I now see that there is a wonderful opportunity to enlighten some of 
those who post here....
or those who don't post but lurk in the background.


So let's start with "how to announce CQWW Actions."


First, nothing is formally announced by CQWWCC until the results are 
final and published.
I hope that makes sense to everyone.


After publication, the Actions of the CQWWCC are published...on line.


K5ZD has done a spectacular job maintaining and updating all of the CQ 
Contest web pages.


One of the "tabs" on the CQWW.com web page is our BLOG, where will find 
exactly what you ask for.

But besides DQ announcements, you will also find interesting stats and 
announcements.


You will also find details about New Rules, and the 'why' behind them.
