IARU HQ Contest disputed

The 2009 IARU contest between the world's national amateur radio society headquarter stations has produced a bitter dispute over the scores.

The dispute over first place occurred between the Spanish and German national societies (URE and DARC).

As a result the ARRL Awards Committee has decided that no certificate will be awarded for the high scoring IARU member society HQ station in the 2009 IARU HF World Championship.

Post #95810 on the URE forum gives the URE statement on the outcome.

That and the many other forum entries on the subject can be seen in Google English at
