Rule Changes to CQ World Wide DX SSB and CW Contests

There will be some rule changes to the upcoming 2025 CQ World Wide (CQWW) DX SSB and CW contests this fall. Most of these modifications will be minor with one notable exception: the Explorer category will be discontinued effective with the 2025 CQWW DX Contest. A new Multi-Transmitter-Distributed category will be added, and the rules will be consistent with the CQ WPX Multi-Distributed category. See section C.4. of the CQWW rules at cqww.com/rules.htm for details.
