Thanks Dave, allowing "normal" QSOs in WW-digi is similar as in other CQ WW contests, and it come naturally when report was simplified to UL-sqare. (Not so with other contests)
Only some 10 % of reported QSOs were done on standard QRGs, so impact on NILs is not huge. Unique CALLs is another story. However, people (and SW) got confused by WW-digi style messages. Good practice is to switch to normal mode there and get those multipliers. A bit cynical answer for all big contests: move to WARC bands to avoid being called by contesters. Best 73, CU Iztok, S52D

FT8 and FT4 have a broad appeal and not all participants have a good feel for contesting, even though they might have turned in a log.? I would be a ton of money that if everyone who made a contact in any of the contests mentioned in your link had turned in a log that the NIL rate would be several percentage points higher. In my opinion, a lot of the confusion would be avoided if FT8 and FT4 contests stayed away from the general use frequencies. 73, Dave?? AB7E
