Chris,
As one who criticised your committees decision to merge the assisted and
unassisted classes for single ops on this Forum, I applaud your decision to
now reverse that.decision - thank you.
Whilst there may be other issues this was the important one. As a traditional
single ops we seek no more than to be left to operate in the manner which we
have always done and to compete with our peers.who operate in the same manner
Joining us with assisted ops would have destroyed that...
The 10% weighting in favour of the unassisted class appears to be very
equitable and fair. Concerns regarding stifling technology and cheating do seem
to be exaggerated. There is no doubt that by far the greatest area of cheating
is illegal power and that will occur probably equally over the the two single
op classes.
I would like to thank your committee for taking on the task of running WRTC
2018 and wish you every success..
73, Brian C4Z / 5B4AIZ..

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Clarification from DL1MGB
Hello,
after reviewing the discussions and the criticism we received from contesters
worldwide, we had an internal discussion and decided the following changes.
We will split the Single Operator categories into Unassisted and Assisted.
Unassisted Single Operators will still have a weighting factor of 1.0. Assisted
Single Operators weighting factor will be changed to 0.9. The reduced weighting
factor accomodates the fact that there will be no assisted operation during the
WRTC competition in 2018.
All other rules stay unchanged and are final. Please understand that further
changes of the qualifying rules would have a deep impact on the balance of the
rules requiring the re-design of the entire rule system from scratch.
The latest version of the qualifying rules can be downloaded at
http://www.wrtc2018.de.
Good luck to all qualifiers! Nearly two months to go!
