[CQ-Contest] WRTC 2018 - Qualification is Over

[Michael Hoeding, DL6MHW]

Hi folks,

The CQWW CW was the last qualification contest for the WRTC 2018. With 
the claimed scores published last week we did a pre-final compilation of 
the qualification standings.

Despite the still missing results of the All Asia Contest the situation 
in several regions is clear.

With a difference of more than 1000 qualification points between the 
last qualification rank and the first follower we realize quite a stable 
situation in AS#2, AS#5, EU#6, NA#2, NA#5, NA#6, NA#7, OC#1, OC#2 and SA#2.

Very close, with a difference of less than100 points, the situation in 
AF, AS#1, AS#3, AS#4, AS#6, EU#2 and EU#5 has not yet been decided. This 
is an indicator of the intensive fight until the last contests and the 
hard competition in these regions.

We are ready to calculate the final results when all final contest 
scores have been published, hoping that neither disqualifications nor 
missing data will confuse the final publication.

In the last two years we have faced high level radiosport in all regions 
of the world. Thank you for that. The qualification was accompanied by 
several discussions of an optimal qualification process. Fixing regions, 
contests and their weighting for a WRTC is quite sensitive. We have to 
thank the organizers from Brazil, Russia and the USA for their support 
in designing the qualification based on contest results. We also hope to 
see the 9th WRTC with new ideas and improvements in the qualification 
procedure.
