[CQ-Contest] K9YC, WRTC, deep pockets

[Tonno Vahk]

What Ranko proposed was that the potential qualifiers will commit to letting
anybody into their station for inspection at any time during any qualifying
contest (ideally this should still be agreed and authorized by sponsors
beforehand). There are local contesters who are ready to do that without any
financial support from contest sponsors!

Sponsors would probably just need to set some standards as to what is
expected from the voluntary inspectors (e.g. recommended video and audio
recording with simple handheld camera/phone and documenting the RF path,
etc). As I understand there are many contesters in e.g. Balkan region who
are frustrated enough and ready to do that so we should give them chance to
enable the self-regulation of the contesting scene.

As I have said, the far greater problems are those related to geography and
the huge advantage to those with the deepest pockets.

Yes, I agree.  I's that way in contesting.  It's that way in everything.

If a more equitable way can be found and implemented, go for it.
Interesting discussion.
I still like Ranko's thoughts on on-site inspections during "qualifying"
competitions...if only the contest sponsors had the necessary resources.
