1. Records and History Contesting Seminar Presented by Bob Cox, K3EST

2. CQ WW All Time Records • All Time CQ WW Records Dear Contester, On these pages are presented the records for the CQ WW contest for every country that has ever entered a CQ WW. To create these lists, CQ magazine was searched from the 1948 issue through the present season to create the tables. You can imagine the amount of work involved in their creation.With such a large undertaking, involving thousands of pieces of data, errors are bound to creep into the tables. If you notice an error, please do the following: send us the country involved, the category involved and the correction with documentation, i.e. the mode and year on the CQ WW contest. The correction must appear in CQ magazine to be recognized. If you notice a callsign which you know was operated by a guest operator, and none is given, please tell us the operator's callsign of the call shown. You can send corrections with documentation to questions@cqww.com With your help the records will become as correct as possible. If you look at the records you may just find one that you can beat or one that has not been entered from your country. 73,Bob K3ESTCQ WW Director
