[CQ-Contest] A Badly Needed WRTC Event

[Ward Silver]

The event which would really separate the sheep from the goats is...

Copperweld Wrestling!

The organizers should create 500' (sorry, 150-meter) coils of #12
copperweld and put each one in a separate paper sack.  Then the sacks
should be thrown (not placed) in the back of a pickup truck and driven
around on the back roads for about a month.

Each WRTC team should then be given one bag and given 10 minutes to unroll
the wire.  Final score is number of meters unrolled minus one meter for
each kink.  Swearing also results in a one point penalty (although the
judges may award extra credit for style).  Cutting or breaking the wire
results in disqualification.  Throwing the wire on the ground, while
understandable, also results in a five-point penalty.  Punching your
teammate is optional and carries no immediate penalty.

I would pay to see this event.

Well, everybody talking about next
WRTC.
Please, not more than 24 hours. Is good
enough to the experts show! And better
than this, is nice to share time with all
other guys and organizers. I did like to
talk a little with our host and people
that received us at Slovenia. Was my
"ham radio" best experience until now!!
24 hours is enough to anyone wins the
contest, using your operating capabilities...
Excuse about my bad English redaction...
