QRH HAM RADIO WORLD - Hunting for CONTEST WPX

BCC declines to sponsor CQ WPX plaques

By Chris DL1MGB, President Bavarian Contest Club It is hard to find correct words for the current situation we are witnessing in Ukraine these days. We often remain in a mood of anger, sorrow, and anxiety. Many of us live far away from the events. We are worried about the affected people and grieve with them about their losses. Beyond our donations to relieve a small part of the distress, our options to help are limited. Economical embargos, boycotts, and political statements which are focused to hit governments and people in charge, are certainly necessary but do not always meet our expectations. Lately, the CQ Communications, Inc. decided to limit contest participation from Russia, Belarus and the Donbas region in their sponsored CQ World Wide DX and WPX Contests. Logs from these regions will only count as check-logs and contacts with them will count zero points for all of us.

CQ WPX CW Contest

Just like the last 12-16 months of planned DXpeditions, the CQWPX (SSB & CW) contests have been slightly diluted due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic as travel is still problematic for most of us. However, there’s still some juicy DX to be picked this upcoming weekend. During the various global, regional and local lockdowns we saw a huge influx of newly licensed operators appear from numerous countries. This is great news and what better way to work some “Big Gun” stations than to participate in one of the largest CW contests of the year? Listing of (DX) stations participating found here
