[CQ-Contest] nastyness in WRTC?

[Barry]

Yes, it is a hobby, but a lot of people spent a lot of time, money, and 
lugged their eqpt half-way around the world for it.  That's a lot of 
effort for a competition.where some participants have an unfair advantage.

I agree there's no way to provide a level playing field, but I believe 
the Russians came the closest with the FD-style setup.  There are ways 
to get even closer to a level playing field.

And last, for the record, I currently have no radio to turn off :.)  I 
relocated about a year ago and sold everything before moving.  
Hopefully, we'll get something on the air by the end of the year.
