[CQ-Contest] WRTC qualifying

[JIM NEIGER]

I thought my idea of some years ago had "merit", but as I appeared to be the 
only one - it didn't fly too far.  In essence:

Your two man team plunks down 5000 Euros (too much??  too little??) and 
you've qualified. A team can be ANY two operators, regardless of 
nationality, continent, etc.   Rationale:

a) Demonstrating a willingness to spend your hard earned would 'suggest' to 
you that you're good enough to compete - ergo qualified

b) WRTCs can be pretty much 'self' financed

c) Each entry fee guarantees you a 1) site, 2) antenna(s), 3) tent or ??, 4) 
tables/chairs

Two man teams without the hard earned get their national club to sponsor.

Eliminates all the drama.

In the last WRTC one of the WØ players was from Eastern Europe via Spain. 
How many Black Hole contest clubs do you think will be sponsors of the next 
WRTC gig in DL?
