Results of the 2021 CQWW WPX RTTY Contest
The 2021 CQWW WPX RTTY contest was held 11 months into the global coronavirus pandemic. Vaccines were being offered to only the oldest age groups and seniors in care facilities. Remote operations, one of the only really safe ways to maintain multi-op collaborative efforts, became the norm, with many taking advantage of technology either to activate multi-op stations or to navigate travel restrictions to regular DX contesting sites around the world. As with other contests over the last year, this changed the landscape of the logs submitted, both from whom and how many were received. This fact, and with the Northern Hemisphere struggling with typical winter weather woes, certainly had an impact.
“With covid restrictions in place, I was unable to head to my preferred contest location in Devon. So, a simple 40-meter vertical with ground radials was hidden among the trees outside my flat and I am amazed at how well it worked,.”–Rob G1N (GØURR)
