[CQ-Contest] New rules Re:WPX results

[Mikael Westerlund]

Hey guys!
What are we looking for????
The best best SKILL,GEARS,LOCATIONS or a COMBINE OF THOOSE THINGS ????????

 You will never find out a way to show  the best operator in the contest, whatever rules we´ll have.  THE QTH/LOCATION AND GEARS WILL GIVE US THE WINNER IN ANY CLASS. The Operator skills is in at least of the top twenty of every class is very hard to pinpoint, whatever execuse we have have. I  think it´s the operator /operators skills we try to find out...

To do that you need to give all the same chance to show the skill. You can´t  do that  on the radio.
