I was seriously contemplating not dipping my paddle into this pond of abject silliness, but these words from K1TTT: "knowing when and how to use current technology always makes you a BETTER operator............." finally shoved me out of the boat.
Turning back to the CQ WW DX CW 2009 Observations.
The last months W3ZZ has posted few messages but the questions about the time the inspectors spent on the observed stations have been ignored.
I have received a number of questions about my experience with the CQ WW observer program last November. I have also seen some online commentary about the performance of the observers.
W3ZZ was not so lucky as G3SXW as he did not get into a banquet and accordingly to information from K3EST W3ZZ slept in the car. But he indemned the discomfort buying 7-night stay in the hotel on Barbados.
The idea of the Observer program arose long time ago in 2007 and it was not the CQ WW CC who proposed it.
The idea author is a well known contester from the USA.
