[CQ-Contest] WRTC for VK/ZL

[Frank Hunt]

I reckon the contest selection criteria for WRTC 2018 is the best yet as far 
ZL/VK's are concerned.

I regularly operate in the CW sections of the RDXC, WAE and WAG.Over 
the past 12 years I've operated 9 times in the RDXC, 9 times in the WAE 
and 7 times in the WAG. And by operate I mean that most years I've put in 
some serious butt in chair hours!

In fact I find all these three contests more interesting and challenging than 
the CQ/ARRL contests or even the OCDX contest. The CQ contests in 
particular are the easiest contests of all to rack up a big qso total/score,  
WW - exchange in 99% of cases is software pre-emptive, WPX - nearly 
everyone is a multiplier!

It should be remembered that prospective WRTC TL's only have to select 
12 contests out of a possible 26, so you can ignore the none CQ/ARRL 
contests if you so choose.

And what about RTTY? There are CQ WW, CQ WPX and WAE RTTY 
contests. So there should be a RTTY section in the IARU contest and 
RTTY contests should be included in the WRTC Team selection criteria - 
now that would really stir things up!
