CQ  Magazine  has  announced  August  issue  so  if  you  look  at  it
http://www.cq-amateur-radio.com/Aug09Highlights.html  you  can see the
winners of the CQ WW DX SSB 2008 contest.
D4C  team is not present in the winners list so the circulating rumors
about  disqualification  of  the  D4C team have been confirmed: I4YSS,
I4UFH, IZ4DPV, CT1ESV. This has also been confirmed by the D4C project
team.
This  is  not  the only disqualification in this contest, some Eastern
Europe  and  ex-USSR  entrants  have also been DQd or moved to another
category. You can see some well-known calls among them.
According  to  the  current  CQ Magazine contests rules a disqualified
person  is  ineligible  for  an  award for one year. If an operator is
disqualified  for  a second time within 5 years, he will be ineligible
for an award for 3 years. This concerns both as a participant operator
or a station.
The  subscribers will be delivered the August issue of the magazine in
the nearest future so we will soon see the 2008 SSB results.
Congratulations  go  to  LY8O  with  his 1st place in the world in QRP
category.
