Some ThoTs on CQ W.W. Cw

The CQ W.W. Cw contest has been a mixed-bag over the years.  In 2019, I published the equivalent of a Blast from the Past blog about the CQ W.W. Cw GiG  ([CLICK HERE] to read that.  As the 2025 GiG fast approaches, I found myself in reminisce mode regarding this event.  Here is what I came across:

• [X] - 2020 - WQ6X Dual-OPs the CQ Weird-wide Cw Contest
  
  
     Nothing fancy/eventful.  NX6T took 1st-place for San Diego.
  
  
• [X] - 2021 - WQ6X Wrangles a Wild CQ World-wide Contest
  
  
  With SFI=108, this was another HO-Hummer World Wide Contest.
  
  
• [X] - 2022 - WQ6X works another dual-OP CQ WW Contest
  
  
  Another Dual-OP with both NX6T & WQ6X taking 1st-place for W6.
  
  
• [X] - 2023 - WQ6X: Why I like 48-Hour Contests
  
  
  For some reason, WQ6X & NX6T did not play CQ W.W. Cw this year.
  
  
• [X] - 2024 - WQ6X Creeps thru another QRP CQ W.W. Dx CW ConTesT
  
  
  Running QRP, WQ6X managed a 2nd-place for the W6, even after
  having the score reduced by 18% due to logging errors - OUCH!

While the CQ WW Cw contest is a lot of fun, I will never set any records or post any real high scores. The GiG IS a lot of fun and enables the possibility of accomplishing DXCC (100+ countries) n one weekend.  More than for the ARRL Dx contests, the CQ WW GiG brings us numerous DX-pedition operations that occur JUST for this event.

Do YOU ever work the CQ W.W. DX Cw contest?

Is WQ6X in YOUR LoG?
