[CQ-Contest] Clarification from DL1MGB

[Christian Janssen DL1MGB]

Hello,

after reviewing the discussions and the criticism we received from contesters worldwide, we had an internal discussion and decided the following changes.

We will split the Single Operator categories into Unassisted and Assisted. Unassisted Single Operators will still have a weighting factor of 1.0. Assisted Single Operators weighting factor will be changed to 0.9. The reduced weighting factor accomodates the fact that there will be no assisted operation during the WRTC competition in 2018.

All other rules stay unchanged and are final. Please understand that further changes of the qualifying rules would have a deep impact on the balance of the rules requiring the re-design of the entire rule system from scratch.

The latest version of the qualifying rules can be downloaded at http://www.wrtc2018.de.

Good luck to all qualifiers! Nearly two months to go!
