Introduction Records in CQ contests

Records in CQ contests

Part of the race is also exceeding certain goals, such as records. Just like athletes compete, also radio amateurs in contests – amateur radio races – achieve performance. It's often easy. Try to imagine, that during 48 hours you would be at work. It's a duel with sleep, duel with concentration and perseverance. But these are also contests.

It's a bonus, if they manage to break and set a new record. OM0A is in the records of these world CQ contests:
