There are some good ideas for the next WRTC.
I think we can learn a lot with each one of those events.
One think should be very clear : THE RULES ARE FOR EVERY COMPETITOR, SO THE
REDUCTIONS AND WEIGHT ARE FOR EVERYONE AND HURT ALL COMPETITORS ON EQUAL
TERMS.THE DIVISION ON REGIONS HAS BEEN DEVELOPED EXACTLY TO MINIMIZE THIS
IMPACT. THE NUMBER OF 8 BEST SCORES AMONG 33 PLUS ALSO MINIMIZE THE IMPACT.
Season´s greetings

should be less griping about the selection process. Many good ops are being
hurt by the MM and single band rules. I would not have done so many single
band entries if I had known ahead of time how they would be scored, and lots
of
guys may not have operated as parts of MM crews if they were seriously
thinking of going to WRTC. <<
Very true, some of us go after monoband records/scores and get "degraded".
Another way of selecting participants would be in the regions have
qualification runs under similar conditions and rules as WRTC, say two or
three years in
a row.
Taking it one step further and to involve station design and building
(unburdening sponsors from providing equipment/antennas), would be
requirement that
operators bring their own equipment (rigs, antennas) with max weight limit
say
60 lbs. This would involve station building (or buying) and operating. Can
even pick location within the outlined territory.
This would eliminate many fudgy factors and those serious in WRTC would have
a chance to fight for it under the same conditions. I think dividing the
world
to regions is excellent, maybe with some more fine tuning reflecting density
of contesters.
73 + Merry Christmas
