Martin I totally agree with you on the selection criteria issue. The one for NA # 9 is totally biased towards the people who activate islands on zone 8. The differences are even worst for NA# 9 : Com

I agree with Randy on this one. For years I looked at the assisted category as a lesser one. One day I tried it, and was hooked. Randy, K3WW and others would probably agree with me that it is harder

Randy is right. Absolutely right My "point and click" remark was not appropriate and unfairly characterizes assisted class operations as the child of some lesser God. I am wrong for letting my pass
Hi to all, I hope that some comments will be considered and Team selection criteria will be changed a bit? For me and all contesters whom I discussed with, obvious problem is having to short selectio

Yes, but the question is who is disparaging whom? When the non-assisted category is eliminated, those who prefer to operate in that fashion are being told that their preference is no longer important

IMHO the Germans have come up with pretty good qualifying criteria. I do have two suggestions for our German friends: 1. For W/VE stations, the ARRL DX contests should count for a full 1000 points.Ov
If I understand K5ZD's statement regarding the WRTC2018 "Assisted scores are compared against Unassisted" both categories are grouped together. I have operated Assisted and Unassisted and I can see t
I agree with you Ranko to some extent. I like the two-year format. However, due to time restrictions and traveling imposed by my job I am not sure I will be able to devote to the process as much I'd
Here's a thought: the WRTC2018 organizers might voluntarily follow procedures similar to those implemented by K5ZD for changes to the CQWW rules, that is, publish the rules as drafted by the committe
If it's not too late, I agree with Ranko!! We really very busy not only with radio, but other life. 73! Andy UA3DPX P.S. Radio is main thing off cause !! iPad ________________________________________

Braco, I am glad you raised the ball regarding the number of qualifying spots for Balkan region. I will repost here my email sent to WRTC2018 mailing list, since it seems it was not approved by the m
Ranko and Braco got it right. I see no point why so many qualification events have to be squeezed in two years. Nowadays results are out fast. RDXC, WPX results of 2017 would be in time for qualifica

Hi guys, I agree totaly with Ranko, Braco, Tibi, Zoli and others,12 scores in two years is way too much even for us crazy contesters. EU#5 with only 3 qualifying spots is really not enough, especiall
There have been a lot of posts concerning these changes and it looks like I am in the minority, but I like the changes. First, the ultimate goal remains unchanged. Operate in the designated contests
I think the best way to select deserving for WRTC would be to have one or two WRTC like competitions (virtually with the same rules as WRTC) in each selection area. That would allow those ops who is
