Hello,
(first I have to excuse me for the late reply. There were some very busy
weeks days after dayton. CQ-Contest is full of discussion.)
(second: For questions/discussions about WRTC 2018 please use our
Mailing-List: http://lists.wrtc2018.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/wrtc2018 )
Please remember. We had a very short time for the preparation of the
qualification rules. Our initial plan was to apply for WRTC 2022 but we
changed this plan to make WRCT2018 possible. Perhaps a longer
discussion would have produce better qualification rules but than there
would be no WRTC 2018 or a qualification with a much shorter
qualification period.
However as Ken, KE3X, wrote :
Qualifying is already underway. Changing those rules now is not fair to
anyone who seriously entered the first four events and picked their entry
category based on current rules.
Change the rules during a contest is generally not possible.
The WRTC Sanctioning Committee delegates the QR to the organizer. We
have seen many arguments for a number of details and many well founded
ideas for better rules. Unfortunately we could not distill a common and
clear position. E.g. the qualification time: On group is happy about the
shorter qualification period - the other strongly ask for a longer time.
To bring it to a good end for WRTC2022 it would be helpful, if someone
can collect experts in a independent group, to discuss WRTC
qualification in general to support the organizer for 2022 with a
empirical base.
For now we are very busy to bring WRTC2018 on the road. There are still
some hundred of open tasks. E.g. we did not finish fund-raising yet,
still need some USD or EUR. So please have a look to:

and make your first small donation for 2015.
