[CQ-Contest] WRTC Qualifying & RDXC

[Mark van Wijk]

   From this side of the big pond many think similar about the "old vs new"
   contest generations.

   Only few like to respond on platforms like this.

   It  is  not that we disagree with all new developments. It is that the
   sailboat-racers slowly are being put aside in more events by the year.
   Please support both, but keep them separated.

   But on the WRTC Qualifying topic;  I think diversity is good.

   Why not let every WRTC-organising Team decide the rules? Change of the
   Q-requirements every few years.

   For  participating you adapt to the changes, which sometimes suits you
   better, sometimes others. So what?

   The fun part is living the path to, but really ends at 23:59:59 in the
   contest. Period. Or haven't you learned that lesson in life yet?

     They enjoy it because "it's more fun", just as
     powerboat racers have more fun than sailboat
     racers (apparently). They look blankly at us,
     the unconnected contesters, when we say the
     internet is not ham radio.
     They are hybrid-communications contesters -
     they just cannot bring themselves to admit it.
