Dear Radio Amateurs,

OM / YL / Clubs / Groups !

The Board of the CWJF GROUP is pleased to inform you that the result of the  CQMM DX CONTEST / 2023  is already available on our website ( see at the end of this comment ).  

For the third time, we surpassed the important milestone of more than 2,000 LOGs received and we have an audacious objective to be achieved by the year 2025 ( when the contest will be completing its 15th edition ), which is to receive 2,500 LOGs. Who knows in 2024, we can already dream of reaching this fantastic milestone and thus consolidating ourselves as the 5 biggest CW contest in the world.

Congratulations  to  all  2057  participants  from  117  different  countries  valid  according  to  the  updated  DXCC   list,   who   sent   their  LOGs   and participated in this contest sponsored by the CWJF GROUP,  which was founded in 1985  and is close to  completing  40  years  dedicated  to  promoting and encouraging art from the CW.

We  are  very  pleased  with  the  worldwide  growth  that  CQMM DX CONTEST  has  achieved  with  each new edition. And all of you who have already participated in our contest one or more times are certainly the reason for our great success. And you who have never participated in our contest,  we would like to deserve the honor of your first participation in this great worldwide CW party, which takes place on the third weekend of April.

The CQMM DX CONTEST continues the saga of having several world and continental records being surpassed every year. The 2023 result that we have just released shows that 29 new records were achieved, including 5 new world records and 24 new continental records.  All 6 continents had at least    3 new  records surpassed. These numbers prove the consistent growth we are achieving in the international community.

In 2023, we  reached  420,371  thousand  contacts  between all participants in the contest ( logs received ) , obtaining a total of 398,393 valid contacts, which represents that 94.8% of the QSOs carried out were scored. You will find more details about the contest in STATISTICS.

As  we  announce  the  results  of  CQMM DX CONTEST / 2023,  we  would  like  to  congratulate  the  operators  of  the LZ5R station,  participants in the Multi-operators / ST / AB / HP category, who won first place for the third consecutive time (2021 / 2022 / 2023), in addition to the 5 stations that became world record holders in our contest this year ( KJØD / YT1A / FY5KE / LZ4TX / DL8DYL ) as it is  always  the  highest  point  that  can  be  reached  by  a participant. And we would also like to highlight 8 stations that had notable participation, namely:

– P3X ( Opr: Sergey ) : in addition to being world champion this year in the  SO / AB  / HP  category, in a fierce dispute  with  the  DR5X  station, it also surpassed its own continental record in this same category, with more than 120% of growth in the final score.

YW6CQ ( Opr: Mel – YV6BXN ) : he was world champion in the  SO / AB / QRP  category  and  by  also  establishing the  new  continental  record,  he managed to surpass the oldest record in South America, which was from 2012).

– FY5KE ( Opr: Laurent – F6FVY ) : in  addition  to  breaking  a  new  world  record  in  the  SO / SB / 15M / LP  category,  with  growth  of  almost  200% compared to the previous record, it now also occupies 2nd place in world records of this category (HP and LP)

– KU2M ( Opr: Peter ) : set  a  new  continental  record  in  the  SO / SB / 15M / HP  category  and  surpassed  the  oldest  record  in  this  category  in North America, which belonged to the N2MM station since 2015.

– V51MA ( Opr: Mike ) : surpassed  the  continental  record  ( AF )  in the  SO / SB / 10M / LP  category that belonged to  the  EA8RY station,  by  more than 450%, demonstrating the potential for points growth that exists between the participating continental stations.

 DL8DYL ( YL – Irina ) : surpassed the previous world record among YL stations by more than  50%  and  surpassed  the  1.5  million  points  barrier.

 9A7Z ( Opr: Luka ) : surpassed  the  continental  ( EU )  record  in  the  SO / SB / 15M / HP  category  by  more  than 120%  and even surpassed  the oldest record (2014) that existed on the continent.

 JT1CO ( Opr: Choigonjav ) : set a new continental record in the  SO / SB / 10M / HP  category  and  surpassed  the  oldest  record  in this  category          in Asia, which belonged to the station UN9GD since 2012.

The  oldest continental record  of  the CQMM DX CONTEST, achieved in our first contest held in 2011  and  which  belonged  to  Jean – 5TØJL ( SK )        in the SO / AB / QRP  category,  has finally been surpassed and now belongs to the EA8/N9SM station.

The  oldest  CQMM  DX  CONTEST  world  record continues to belong to the  SO / SB / 10M / HP  category,  which was achieved in 2014 and which belongs to the PW2D station ( currently – SM2U ).

Another joy we had this year was having the confirmation, for the second consecutive year,  of the  new  world  record for participants in the QRP category, with the receipt of 176 LOGs, which really is an impressive milestone. And we were also able to increase from 26 LOGs received from YL stations in 2022, to a total of 28 YL stations with logs sent in 2023, a growth of 7.7%. We realize that with each  new  competition  held,  new  QRP stations and new YL stations participate for the first time, which represents another great joy for all of us, organizers and collaborators.

Note: We inform you that D1M is not a valid call sign, therefore all contacts (QSO’s) made with this station were invalidated.

We  make  a  point  of  thanking  once  again,  with  each  new  publication  of the  result, the importance of the growing support that we continue          to  receive  from  radio  amateurs,  clubs  and  groups  in  our  country  and  also  from  several  other  countries located on 6 different continents.            Without this support, perhaps we would not have come this far, achieving these successes that are repeated every year.

You radio amateur or YL who is reading this opening text of the  results  of  the  CQMM  DX  CONTEST / 2023 and who participated last year,  we            renew  our  thanks  for  your  valuable  participation  and  we  hope  that you participate again this year and for you radio amateur who for some              reason did not participated in 2023 and intends to participate in 2024,  we want to emphasize that your participation will be a great honor for us organizers and certainly for all other participants.
 
We take this opportunity to ask for your collaboration to help us publicize the result among radio amateurs,  clubs and groups  in your country,            and in this way it will also help us to arouse the interest of possible new participants in this year’s competition.
 
Finally,  to  all  radio  amateurs  who  enjoy  the  art  of  CW  and  are interested in becoming a Member of the CWJF GROUP ( one of the largest          CW groups in the world ), with more than 1,100 active Members in 125 different countries, click on the link below and see if it interests you.
