CQ WORLD WIDE DX CONTEST: POLICY CHANGE
"As you may be aware, it has been the policy of CQ magazine for over two years to eliminate awards
eligibility for Russian and Belarus entries in all CQ sponsored events. This requirement was never incorporated into the rules for any of the WW contests; it was limited to a simple policy statement.
What is most notable at this time, is that the WW contests are one of the few competitions still maintaining this position (or similar). As a result, and after consultation with our WW Contest Directors and WWROF leadership, we will be changing the current policy, effective immediately, and returning all of our contests to normal operation.
This change will take effect with the WW RTTY contest this weekend (28-29 September 2024), and all other WW contests going forward". This announcement was posted to the CQ WW Blog (https://cqww.com/blog/) on 25 September.
