The last weekend in January is traditionally busy for
contesters with several contests running in parallel
including the CQWW-CW-160m and the REF-CW. However the ever
interesting postings on 3830 reveal that the "internet
remote contesting" age has really arrived. 

There's a W4 (sitting in a warm shack in Florida or
somewhere?) who has entered the REF-CW Contest was F/WA4PXP
and the CQWW-160m Contest as DL/WA4PXP through separate
remote stations in France (F4JRC) and Germany (DJ3AA).
Presumably somewhat tongue in cheek, Jim WA4PXP comments
"Operating in Europe is non-stop action" !

Standby for the brave new world of "internet remote
contesting"?

73 - Nigel G3TXF

PS : G3TXF remained very much in the old world of Single-Op
unassisted for CQWW-CW-160m, netting 1,480 Qs, 73 DXCC, 49
States/Prov for 1.1m points.
