[KCDXC] Re: W0 Contester of the year criteria

[Alex, KU1CW]

...One thing is not happening from now on-there are no 'W0 contester of the year' will happen without participation in KCDXC CW pileup. Either one of the winners did not take it since 1998. Why? Must be thing for the W0 in years to come. 
 KCDXC pileup is alive and will be at it's best during Dayton 2009-get ready!

 I 'slept on it' for a couple of days and still think that title is up for a very, very poor start. Why K0RF, W0AIH or N0NI were not awarded for REALLY doing something for a years in W0? Poor decision by the committee based on partial and not objective information without advising people who knows last decade of the contesting by participation, not talking about contest.

 Will info for the nominees will be published on W0AA site, like it is published for the CQ Contesting hall of fame?
