CQ-WE Welcomes N1MM logger:
CQ-WE has always been inclusive when it comes to loggers. We accept any
logs we can read -- even paper ones. However, when it comes to the
incentive points, we've only accepted the results produced by our official
logger. We've had contestants complain that they are more familiar with
the N1MM logging program, and would prefer to use that. You spoke and we
listened. Effective with the 2021 contest, we are officially supporting
both the N4HAI and N1MM loggers. The N4HAI logger is free, and is designed
explicitly for th CQ-WE contest, so if you are not a serious contester, we'd
expect you'd want to use that. But serious contesters who are already
familar with the N1MM logger may want to use it instead. And now you can.
But whatever logger you choose to use, make sure you submit your results
so that we can give you the proper credit in the contest.
CQ-WE 62nd Contest
took place over the weekend of November 13 and 14th.
Here are a list of the participants in the contest who have submitted logs.

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.
