Thank you, Peter. No, the CQWW Committee handles only the
major SSB and CW
contests. Other CQ contests (WPX, CQ160, RTTY etc) are
handled by different
folks.
Good luck in the contest, old man!
73 de Roger/G3SXW.

>>*CQ WW Update *
>>*January 18, 2010*
>>
>>The 2009 CQ WW contests were a great success. This success
is largely
>>because of your participation.  With over 11,800 logs
received, the CQ WW
>>Contest Committee (CQ WW CC) looks forward to the
challenge of
>>transforming
>>these entries into results.  As part of our desire to be
as open as
>>possible, we are contacting you at this time to bring
several new topics
>>to
>>your attention.
>>
>>1.       The CQ WW CC has appointed Gene, W3ZZ to be its
Information
>>Officer.  Gene will provide regular updates with ongoing
bulletins. As in
>>the past, if an individual contester has a question,
he/she can still
>>contact us via questions at cqww.com.
>>
>>2.       In recent days, there has been significant
discussion regarding
>>the
>>current activities within the CQ WW CC, particularly as
they relate to
>>combining the SOAB and SOAB Assisted categories. The CQ WW
CC considers
>>many
>>topics. We revisit some issues on a periodic basis. One of
those issues is
>>the use of packet and other technologies which can aid an
operator. The CQ
>>WW CC has indeed been discussing the impact of packet on
the SO category.
>>This should not be surprising to anyone. In fact, most
contest sponsors
>>are
>>doing the same thing; many have already made their
decision and combined
>>the
>>two groups into one.  A very thoughtful and detailed
discussion has
>>occurred
>>on our reflector involving about 35 well known and
experienced
>>contesters.  More
>>than a week ago, it was clear the direction we were going
to take.  We
>>were
>>going to support the need for a category relying just on
human talents.
>>In
>>other words, not only do we continue to totally support SO
and SOA being
>>separate, we intend to move towards strengthening the SO
category.
>>
>>3.       The CQ WW CC will continue to implement ways to
ensure fair
>>contesting.  A recent example was the observer program,
which ultimately
>>became another tool that can be used to confirm and effect
increased
>>ethical
>>operating. The impact of this initiative, along with many
other recent
>>actions, resulted in numerous stations stepping up and
admitting guilt in
>>a
>>variety of operating areas. The contest is better off as a
result.  It is
>>only with your help in promoting fair play that we can
change long
>>ingrained
>>behaviors.  We welcome any entrant who changes. Another
important subject
>>being discussed in the CQ WW CC at this time is improved
checking
>>techniques, which are proving to be very effective against
the very few
>>“bad
>>apples” who decide to violate the rules.
>>
>>Finally, many recent comments made about the CQWW CC's
activities are
>>simply
>>not based on the facts. The reality is that we don't
operate in a
>>smoke-filled room debating substantive issues about
contesting in between
>>sips of Scotch. We are a group of committed contesters
that care about the
>>sport and want to do the right thing. This includes
getting your opinion
>>on
>>the right subjects and at the right time. You always have
a means to
>>contact
>>the CQWW CC via questions at cqww.com with your ideas.
>>
>> Cu in the contest!
>>73, Bob, K3EST
