FINALLY, the 2021 results are in
and the winner is Tom Warren, K3TW. Tom has won the contest more times than
I can remember. An excellent contester, he finished with nearly four times the
overall score of our second place winner, Ken Mitchell, KD2KW, and Tom also
took High Phone and High CW. Rounding out the top 5 are Tom Brown, W2EQ,
Shel Darack, WA2UBK, and Bradley Roope, W1RQ. Middletown (MT) and Holmdel (HO)
took the prize for Most Participants and High Top-5 Score respectively.
Rounding it out, High Active Employee goes to W2EQ; High non-Bell Score to Tom
Nevue, W2MN; High QRP goes to Phil Specht, K4PQC; and High Digital (and the
only digital log received), Al Hanzl, K2AL. The full results are shown
here.
We hope you enjoyed the contest and look forward to working you again in
November.

CONTEST HOST:
The role of Contest Host is an important one, and we appreciate the time
and effort the various locations have put into designing and distributing
their certificates in years past.
Want to highlight your location? Then please consider volunteering to
design and produce the certs for our 62nd contest year coming up.
It's really not that hard, your name will be recorded for posterity on the
website, and we'll even handle the distribution. So give it some thought;
we'd love to hear from you.

HELP US COMPILE a Historical Record of our Bell System Locations and Ham Clubs:
A big part of the CQ-WE contest is communicating with as many different
Location Codes
as possible. The locations these codes represent made up the once great
Bell System.
Today, many — actually, most — of these locations, along
with their location-sanctioned ham clubs, are either defunct or a shadow of
their former selves.
The CQ-WE committee is undertaking a project to resurrect
and preserve a history of the various Bell System locations before this
information and heritage is permanently lost. But, its success depends
on you! Please check our
Location Histories
page, and if you can provide some information on a missing location —
or additional information on one that has already been published —
consider authoring a short article describing your location. If it supported
a corporate ham club, please include your remembrances of that, too. Use
the existing write-ups as guides for style and format. Please send your
material to the CQ-WE webmaster,
cqwe-web-2020@cboh.org,
and we'll put it up on the web site to highlight your location for posterity,
and even give you credit in the byline.
By taking a few minutes to document what you know from your personal
experience with AT&T and its subsidiaries, we hope to preserve some
of the rich history of the many facets of the once proud and great
Bell System.
