CQ WW DX Contest CW 2014 Raw Scores

The Raw Scores for the CQ WW DX Contest CW 2014 are now available at http://www.cqww.com/raw.htm?mode=cw

The raw scores are for logs received as of 2100 UTC on December 7, 2014. We had 7,250 logs received at that time.  Additional updates will be made each week as more logs are received. Checklogs are not listed in the raw scores.

The raw scores are calculated by the CQWW log checking software before log checking with duplicate contacts removed. The score generated by your logging program and ours may have slight differences due to country files and some contacts not being accepted. If you see a large difference, please report this to questions@cww.com.

If you do not see your log in the raw scores, first confirm that the log has been received by visiting http://www.cqww.com/logs_received_cw.htm

Thanks to everyone who participated or submitted a log for the contest. We enjoyed some of the best conditions ever in the history of the CQWW CW Contest!

2014 SSB Contest Raw Scores Now Available

The raw scores for the 2014 CQ WW DX Contest SSB are now available at
http://www.cqww.com/claimed.htm

These are the scores as calculated by our log checking software BEFORE any checking or score reductions have been done. These scores provide quick feedback on who might be the winners, but there is a lot of log checking still to go. It is not unusual for scores to drop 3-8% (or more) so we will have to wait until the checking is completed to know who the winners will be.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the contest.

You may still submit your log using the web upload at http://www.cqww.com/logcheck/
While not eligible for any awards, late logs are shown in the results and do help us greatly with the log checking.

Any questions about the raw scores or other matters relating to CQWW should be sent at: https://cqww.com/contact.

CQ Reconsiders Policy on Crimea in CQ Contests

From http://www.cqnewsroom.blogspot.com/2014/10/cq-reconsiders-policy-on-crimea-in-cq.html

In response to requests from a large number of contesters around the world, CQ has reconsidered its decision regarding the acceptance of logs from stations in Crimea in CQ-sponsored contests.

As CQ Publisher Dick Ross, K2MGA, explained, “a large portion of the contesting community felt that we were unfairly denying our fellow amateurs in Crimea of the opportunity to fully participate in our contests. Since the country list for CQ contests is based on a combination of the Worked All Europe (WAE) and ARRL DXCC lists, and the ARRL has already adopted a policy regarding Crimean stations in its award and contest programs, we will amend our policy to be consistent with the ARRL’s DXCC policy.”

“Therefore, the listings of Crimean stations submitting logs for CQ contests will be based on the call sign under which they have operated. If they used Russian-issued calls in the contest, they will be listed under Russia; if they used Ukrainian-issued calls in the contest, they will be listed under Ukraine. This change reflects not only the desire of many contesters around the world, but also of a large majority of members of the CQ World Wide DX Contest Committee.”
