Do you plan to enter the CQ WW DX Contest?

Recent Surveys

Recently the RDXC committee reclassified P3F to high power from low power without publicly providing strong evidence that any infraction had occurred. They concluded was that the contestant was running HP on 80/40m but not full-time, just 10 minutes here and there without any convincing evidence. It appears they used the RBN as their source of information. Should the RXDC contest have to publicly provide convincing evidence before reclassifying a station from LP to HP?

Randy, K5ZD, wrote a sidebar titled " Convergence and Change" in the 2015 CQWW CW printed results in CQ magazine. He wrote that the "convergence of personal computers, Internet access, DX clusters, and CW Skimmer have changed the nature of CW contesting". He goes to say that it is "more difficult to police the line between the single operator working alone and those who are using the assistance of DX spotting." In light of this convergence and change is it time to recombine SO and SOA into a single category?

Sunspots for CQ-WW-DX-SSB
Sunspots may be overrated; in the same sense that 1929-1934 or so was called a 'Depression'. If everybody gets the idea that there are no sunspots, and therefore no propagation, they'll listen in the hope of an opening, but *Won't Transmit*, and it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy!

No sunspots for the CQWW SSB
The power of positive thinking prevails...we WILL have 80 meters...and maybe even a short 160 meter opening to Central Asia!

15m opening
The stations are developing so we do no longer really need a direct path opening between Europe and North America's Eastern parts.
A decent amount of antenna gain at each end provides to contacts almost regardless conditions.
That is, we can get some QSOs through.
But real good runs need more than 0,73 sunspots.
I hope the SFI will be at 75-85 level. That would produce great conditions if compared to anything we have had during the last couple of years.
