I thought my idea of some years ago had "merit", but as I appeared to be the
only one - it didn't fly too far. In essence:
Your two man team plunks down 5000 Euros (too much?? too little??) and
you've qualified. A team can be ANY two operators, regardless of
nationality, continent, etc. Rationale:
a) Demonstrating a willingness to spend your hard earned would 'suggest' to
you that you're good enough to compete - ergo qualified
b) WRTCs can be pretty much 'self' financed
c) Each entry fee guarantees you a 1) site, 2) antenna(s), 3) tent or ??, 4)
tables/chairs
Two man teams without the hard earned get their national club to sponsor.
Eliminates all the drama.

In the last WRTC one of the WØ players was from Eastern Europe via Spain.
How many Black Hole contest clubs do you think will be sponsors of the next
WRTC gig in DL?

Its actually amazing that we are even able to try qualifying. For half of
WRTC history, getting into the competition was a popularity contest.
There
was no qualifying.you were "sponsored".
Now if we could just get EVERYONE in WRTC qualified instead of half of the
participants being good friends and IOUs.. Oh well, we can dream can't
we?
