Hello Igor, good morning!

I understood better your point of view. 

I'm not a CW operator so I'm not able to compete looking for WRTC. But I appreciate all those competitions.

I really enjoy all SSB contests.

My intention with this issue is to check with ham comunity if make sence, if's pnly myself thinking on this way and to suggest a change on the existing rules for WW and WPX. I known this is not easy but gradually new and updated changes are under analysis by CQWW Comitee what's fine.

Thanks and hope to listen you on the bands.

WRTC was invented in order to compare operators skill and not their antennas power or their permanent locations. Other contests are just for training and selection of the best ops to go to WRTC.

>> Keep training using your "best antennas, radios etc". Get selected for WRTC. Come and win WRTC and you will become "number one worldwide"
