What function does this Poll serve?
Are we betting on others' operating skills as we feel will be needed for this
particular contest as we forsee it will unfold? Is it that some of us feel it
would be (pick something, i.e. :) sherely a domestic competition and the best
SS team will sweep it....or a DX contest and the DX will take it?????
Sure, I can see where it might be interesting to one to make a guess and then
after the dust settles, emphasis on after, see if ones picks made it to the
"top five", or whatever.
We aren't "betting" on the operators, are we? From what I can tell there are
104 champions already selected, the hams who have been selected to compete on
the 52 teams - they are all winners.
Jimmy the SV, aren't these guys all winners?

....my candid impression after Dayton - I would watch out for John Schultz
and George Crovelli, W0GD and W2UA!

Hi All,
It is a month before the much anticipated WRTC-96 and the reflector has
been very quiet on this thread--Who do you think will win?
The idea to ask this question came out of some "Dayton Suite talk" with
several WRTC Team Captains as we compared lists of who we THOUGHT would
finish in the Top 5. I'm sure many of us have considered the question, but I
would like to take things a step further and try to poll the reflector. To
participate in the Pre-WRTC poll:
1. E-mail a list of the teams that in your humble opinion will finish
in the Top 5 in San Francisco.(A complete list of Teams is available on the
WRTC Homepage.)
2. Send your list to Nzharps at AOL.COM not to the Reflector by July 1.
(Let's save bandwidth!)
3. Your list should not need be ordered from 1-5.
I will summarize the responses and post them to the reflector prior to the
Contest. It will be interesting to see who we think will do well as compared
with the actual results.
DISCLAIMER: WRTC has in no way sanctioned this poll and I have no formal
affiliation with the event.
73, Ron K8NZ
p.s. There will be no charge to participate in the poll!

that should keep you reading interesting stuff occasionally. I would say you
will get more out of it by participating and expressing your self than
sitting back and watching the world go by. There are a lot of people out
there that could benefit from your experience and getting to know you.
Its a two way street, you only get as good as you give. Sometimes doing the
giving part is enough.
lecture concluded.
have fun!
Hope I gave you the right addresses and instructions..someone will correct
me if I didn't. hi

I agree with zx (for a change). I don't think the poll is a good idea.
Besides, after I heard about K1AR bribing the judges in advance, I am
sure he and Doug will win again.

I've made some enhancements to the Vanity Call info. Now including the QTH and
have rearranged the columns to make it more readable (IMHO). Also have added a
cumulative list of vanity calls issued sorted by call. Am also working a deal
with Tack (JE1CKA/KH0AM) to put the data on one of his list servers for those
people without Web access.

Subject: Tickets to WRTC Events (Correction)
Message-ID: <199606120637.GAA17617 at mailhost.worldnet.att.net>
My sincere apologies for the wasted bandwidth. However, there was a serious
error in my recent announcement which I need to correct. Regarding the tour
of Napa Valley on Monday, July 15, the text should have read as follows:
"Yaesu Napa Valley wine tour: Buses leave the WRTC Motel at 8:45 a.m. on
Monday, July 15 and return to the hotel at 4:30 p.m. The buses go first to
the San Francisco waterfront, where we depart for a ferry trip across San
Francisco Bay to Vallejo. Buses then go on to the Robert Monadavi Winery,
where guests will receive an escorted tour of the facilities. Lunch will be
at the V. Sattui Winery, and then the afternoon will feature a tour of St.
Supery Winery. Competitors, Judges, and WRTC Sponsors will receive free
admission; all others will need to purchase a ticket. Cost: $35 for the
whole trip or $18 for lunch only. In the case you want lunch only, you must
provide your own transportation to V. Sattui. NOTE: Capacity is limited
for this event."
The correction is that tickets may NOT be purchased at the winery; they must
be obtained through WRTC '96 per the instructions contained in the original
announcement. (Send me email requesting tickets; if we have space, I'll
confirm and tell you where to send a check. Please do NOT send me a check
until I can confirm space for you.)

Message-ID: <Pine.SOL.3.93.960612080558.29354E-100000 at Pegasus>
First: all you guys who are taking down TH-7s and 40-2CDs, and putting up
Force 12 stuff, please send me
a "used antenna" price quote on them, cause I am in the market for good
antennas like the TH-7 and 40-2CD, not Force 12.
Second: don't rivits loosen up over time and vibration?
Third: You can win a contest with antennas at 70 feet. That is still the
best PRACTICAL height for 40m to 10 m beams, bar none.
Four: Before you put up another 150foot tower, have you given to charity?
Finally, hunker down for summer storms and plan for efficiency and
finesse, not brute strength. 73, K4VUD
