CQ reconsiders policy on Crimea in CQ Contests

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."
