From the August 1 issue of the ARRL Contest Update:<br><br>
<br>
CQ WW Director, Bob Cox K3EST announced, "With the technology
available today and the presence of the Internet practically everywhere,
it has been decided to reduce the log submission time for all CQ contests
to five (5) days. Approximately 70% of all electronic logs (more than
10,000!) were received within 7 days after the contest. We realize that
in some cases circumstances may not allow a timely submission. If an
entrant requires more time to submit a log, an extension can be granted
for legitimate reasons by contacting
<a href="mailto:questions@cqww.com">questions@cqww.com</a>. Send your
email to that address prior to the submission deadline - including before
the contest if you expect to require more time. We encourage clubs to
notify their members of the new deadline as they may not be aware of the
rule change. This is an excellent opportunity for clubs to help members
generate and email Cabrillo-formatted logs if they have not done so
before." CQ Editor, Rich W2VU notes, "The five-day log
submission deadline takes effect with the SSB weekend of the 2012 CQWW DX
Contest in October. The deadline for the 2012 CQWW RTTY DX Contest (Sept.
29-30) remains 15 October, as published in the July issue of
CQ."<br>
