Policy Change -- Russia/Belarus Participation in all CQ WW Contests

As you may be aware, it has been the policy of CQ magazine for over two
years to eliminate awards eligibility for Russian and Belarus entries in
all CQ sponsored events. This requirement was never incorporated into
the rules for any of the WW contests; it was limited to a simple policy
statement.

What is most notable at this time, is that the WW contests are one of
the few competitions still maintaining this position (or similar). As
a result, and after consultation with our WW Contest Directors and WWROF
leadership, we will be changing the current policy, effective immediately,
and returning all of our contests to normal operation.

This change will take effect with the WW RTTY contest this weekend
(Sept 28-29, 2024) and all other WW contests going forward.

73, John, K1AR
Director, CQ WW Contest
