Although the 72nd CQWW CW contest is in the rear-view mirror, the memories from the weekend continue. While SSB conditions were an improvement over the previous year, CW turned out to be a significant step above that.In fact, your feedback tells the real story. Each year, we receive over 1,500 soapbox comments with your logs, mostly expressing enthusiasm and excitement over the conclusion of yet another successful CQWW contest. In a sample of this year's group, you said:"My first HF-CW-Contest! Thanks for all contacts!" - DB5DY"Getting back on the air with indoor 10M dipole after 30+years." - KB2DSR"First CQWW CW contest, and for sure not the last! Real fun!"-SEOP"Great to see 10 meters alive!"- VK5GRThe 2020 CQWW CW contest was unique in many ways. Of course, the elephant in the room was COVID-19. A sharp reduction in both multipliers and multi-op entries dominated the landscape. Yet, at the same time, we had a record number of log submissions (9,107 entries). There's just no stopping the world's most popular operating event.
