The world’s largest and most popular contesting operating event — the CQ WW — is coming up in less than two weeks! Some traveling operators have already arrived at their stations or will be leaving this week. Based on the 30-day solar cycle, it appears we will have good conditions, which will make for an incredible operating experience for everyone to enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a reminder, we made a few changes to the rules for 2025 as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
* The Explorer category has been eliminated and replaced with the Multi-op Distributed category, with the same rules as the CQ WPX contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
* Audio recordings are now required for both Top-5 non-assisted *and* assisted Singe-op entries. There is no change to the audio recording requirement itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
* Entrants, on request of the contest committee, will be required to supply descriptions of their station layout including equipment, antennas, amplifiers, switching, interlocks, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
