Just 8.5 days after the end of the 2016 CQ WW DX Contest Phone, we are happy to report that the raw scores for all entries received by 8Nov2016 1200z are available on the web site.

The raw scores are the calculated score before any log checking or other adjustments are made. These scores may not match what you submitted exactly as our country file may be different than yours and you may have some QSOs where the call/country could not be determined.
These are NOT the final results. Scores may change by 5-10% (or more) depending on the log checking. Final results will appear in the March 2017 issue of CQ Magazine.
Please send any questions about the raw scores at: https://cqww.com/contact.
New REST API for CQWW Score Records
A new REST API has been created to provide access to the CQ WW Score Records. This programming interface can be used by other web sites and logging software to integrate score records into their applications. They were created at the request of Dmiry R4WW, the programmer behind the cq-contest.net online scoreboard.
The APIs are easy to use and fully documented at http://www.cqww.com/api_reference.htm .
