[CQ-Contest] WRTC 2022 qualifications criterias? Any new thoughts or ideas?

[Kari Gustafsson]

Hi Dave, 

I remember too. It was nice.  I am not going as I am setting up some new antennas – 4 on 40 m and 2 x 5 on 20 m. You know we SM (and LA:s as well) hams are so equal in marriage that after this antenna work I have consumed all my “own free time” for the quarter with only  some spare time left for upcoming contests.

I like the idea with an Ipad but I am afraid she see will see “through me” :) Women today are so smart – “they rule” the world as I say to my son at University (SA5ODJ BTW).

Good luck in the WRTC – are there any webcasts to watch?

Kari,

 

Since you have your own Flex remote station, there should be no problem operating from your bedroom using your iPad while your wife sleeps -- at least on CW.  

 

I remember our meeting at F'hvn last year.  I think that you need to do a little exploratory trip, will I see you at Wittenberg next week?  

 

73, Dave K3ZJ

We all hope some group will step forward to organize the next WRTC.  It is a
great exhibition of the sport of contesting.
