Attention: All RTTY Contesters From: Glenn Vinson, W6OTC, CQ RTTY Contest Chairman The CQ World-Wide RTTY WPX contest is run each year on the SECOND FULL WEEKEND OF FEBRUARY. Accordingly, the CORRECT dates for the 2004 running of the CQ World-Wide RTTY WPX Contest are FEBRUARY 14-15, 2004. Logs are due by March 19, 2004. As a result of an editing error by me, an earlier date has been published in January 2004 CQ Magazine. The CQ website is being modified this week to show the correct dates, but the January issue of CQ has already been mailed and shows the incorrect date. I have asked John Dorr, K1AR, to publish a correction in his Contesting column in the February issue of CQ. Please accept my apologies for this error. But please do participate on February 14-15. Here are some statistics for your information: Logs submitted for September 2002 CQWW RTTY: 925; for September 2003 CQWW RTTY: 1150; for February 2003 CQWW WPX: 853; for February 2004 CQWW WPX: ?. Each of these contests has set a new record for submissions, and each receives more logs than any other RTTY contest. Let's hope 2004 will see another new record for CQWW WPX submissions. In any event, please SPREAD THE WORD among RTTY Contesters world-wide of the CORRECT date for 2004 RTTY WPX. Thanks to OH2LU, OH2GI and AA5AU for alerting me to this error. Happy Holidays to all. 73, Glenn, W6OTC Tom Wylie wrote: ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Wylie" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, December 30, 2003 8:58 PM Subject: CQ WPX RTTYWhat is date of the 2004 contest - is it 14/15 Feby or 7/8 Feby i have seen both posted?? 73 de tom gm4fdmSubscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX related items only, [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is the DX-CHAT reflector sponsored by the NJDXA http://njdxa.org -- Ronald A.
