Predbežné výsledky CQ WPX SSB contest 2026: Slováci a Česi na popredných priečkach
Svet amatérskeho rádia opäť ožil jedným z najpopulárnejších pretekov roka – CQ WPX SSB Contest 2026. Hoci ide o predbežné výsledky (tzv. raw scores), už teraz je jasné, že rok 2026 priniesol mimoriadne zaujímavé súboje naprieč všetkými pásmami. Pre nás je obzvlášť potešujúce sledovať výsledkovú listinu, v ktorej sa slovenské (OM) a české (OK/OL) stanice nestratili a v mnohých kategóriách dokonca dominovali.
World top and absolute records
In the Single-Op All Bands High power category, station CQ9A (op. EW6W) reigns supreme with an astounding score of over 27 million points. Stations from South America and the Caribbean were placed just behind it, which confirms the excellent conditions for signal propagation in these areas. In the category of multiple operators (Multi-Multi), station CN3A absolutely dominated with an astronomical result exceeding 111 million points.

Achievements of Slovak and Czech stations
Our radio amateurs have shown that world-class results can be achieved even from the interior of Europe, especially in the categories focused on the lower bands and in the QRP category.
The most significant achievements in the tabular overview:
| Category | Call sign | Ranking (World) | The score |
| SO 40m QRP | OK6OK | 1. | 191 464 |
| SA 80m Low power | OK6T (OK1WCF) | 1. | 1,006,395 |
| SO 160m Low Power | OK1K (OK1XOE) | 1. | 212 350 |
| SO 80m QRP | OL4W (OK1IF) | 2. | 246,620 |

Detailed view of individual bands
Upper bands (10m – 20m)
Station OM5R (op. OM5DX) did well on 15 meters, taking an excellent 10th place in the world with a score of 4,146,710 points in the strong High Power competition. The upper bands were full of stations from South America this year (PT5J, D4C), but the European stations were able to come in second thanks to excellent antenna systems.
Lower bands (40m – 160m)
Here, "our people" literally broke free from the chain. In the 80m Low Power category, stations from our region occupied almost the entire first half of the top ten. In addition to the winning OK6T, OM0A (682,410 points) took 4th place and OM0CS (350,924 points) took 6th place.
Even more significant dominance occurred on 160 meters, where Czech stations took the first two places (OK1K and OK4R) in the Low Power category. It is proof not only of technical maturity, but also of operators' endurance during demanding night shifts.
Multiple operators and special categories
V kategórii Multi-Single High Power vybojovala stanica OK5Z skvelé 6. miesto (13,5 mil. bodov). V kategórii Multi-Two (dvaja vysielače) sa slovenský tím OM7M prebojoval na svetové 6. miesto so skóre vyše 27,6 milióna bodov, čím potvrdil svoju stabilnú príslušnosť k svetovej elite.
The Rookie category is also worth mentioning, where station OM8A (op. OM2ADM) achieved a fantastic 2nd place in the world. This is an excellent promise for the future of Slovak amateur radio sports.
Note: Tieto výsledky sú predbežné a vychádzajú z nahlásených denníkov. Finálne poradie sa môže zmeniť po procese krížovej kontroly (log-checking), kedy budú odpočítané chyby a neoverené spojenia. Napriek tomu sú súčasné pozície OM a OK staníc vynikajúcim úspechom.
In the SO AB HP category, no one from OM/OK made a serious result?

So no one from OM got into the top ten in the world. Of course, the results of Joža OM3GI, Riša IS0JHQ (OM2TW) and Adam OM2ADM are great, but they did not make it into the TOP10 in the world and therefore are not directly in the overview. At the end of the article there is a link that leads to an overview of all stations.
Vila, you are comparing pears with nuts. If someone in SO AB HP in 36 hours does about the same as M/S in 48 hours, then his result is probably more valuable than the result of e.g. in M/S.
In addition, there is an entire elite in SO AB and the competition there is many times greater than in the categories of e.g. 80 or e.g. 160m and also QRP. There, hopefully everyone can make it to the TOP TEN in the world.
Rasta, you don't read with comprehension. The results of OM SO AB HP are not mentioned in the article because they are not in the TOP10 in the world. Don't look for any other reason in it.
But I would like it if you would not disparage the results of QRP stations. Thank you
