Dear Contester,

we are QRV in the CQWW CW 2009 Contest with A31A. Please keep our call in mind and please have a look for us as we will especially try to call for EU on the lowbands. But this will be a big challenge to get through the european contest QRM. But we hope that at least some QSO's will be possible.

At the moment we are QRV as 5W0NM, mainly in CW. EU is good to work at grayline on 40m and 30m.

Team CT9L is preparing for CQWW-CW in Multi/Multi category this year. The team is already active as CS95A before and after the contest. During the contest we'll take of as CT9L as usual. We appreciate any call/qso!

This year the team is constituted by: DK3QZ, DL5XX, DL3QQ, DL1XW, DL3HAH, DL2OBF, DJ7IK, DJ7JC, DF1AL and PA0R.

Some good news from ARRL: in the ARRL Newsletter from July 25th they announced to drop rule 5 of section III of the DXCC rules. This means that open logs are are not any more subject to possible disqualification from the award program.

I think this is good news since internet logs have already become state of the art and best practice in radio sports. We will continue to provide our RRDXA online log to all members all will enhance the service in the future.

From my point of view there is just one thing to consider: if a log is opened with all QSOs details, QSL managers should stop correcting QSO data on request like "....I worked you at 09:21 on 21 CW but you got my callsign wrong..." since these kind of requests are obviously too easy with open logs. So please don't change logs unless you are 100% sure about the request. Most DXpeditions do online logs so it's easy for everybody to check whether you got in the log.
