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

[Kari Gustafsson]

Hi Martin, Interesting. But here in Scandinavia we are so few hams (active contesters I guess some 15-20 persons at maximum) that we could not do any of this pre-qualification runs as I see the Russians do. On the other hand we must look at new opportunities as you suggest and see if it can work on some other places on earth.

It would be really nice to see WRTC contributing to Fair Play in our hobby.

Ideally WRTC qualifying would be on-site regional competitions during the three IARU contests prior to the next WRTC.

 

RRTC can serve as an example.

If the qualifying run remains as is, we will continue to see what we have seen so far in terms of unsportsmanlike conducts in amateur radio contests.

Hi contesters!

It may be a little bit early to ask about WRTC 2022 when 2018 has not yet
been concluded. 

I am relatively new to contesting  but I have been attracted by it. With
remote contesting as a new reality it opens up a new "world". A new
challenging path after doing some 20 years if DX-ing. And building a
competitive remote contest station adds some new thrills into the hobby.   

But as a newbie to WRTC who (if possible to say anything) with the knowledge
in WRTC could say some words of what the criterias for WRTC 2022 might be?
Or are the similar from WRTC to WRTC over the years?  Are there any foreseen
changes being discussed due to a more elderly ham population out there? For
instance fewer contests and more 24 hour contests.

I have had the opportunity to talk to Ingo SM5AJV,  who has qualified for
this WRTC, about what he had to put into it in efforts. And I was chocked
over the amount of time and the number of contests. To be able to accomplish
this I need to change jobs and move my bed from the bedroom  (where my wife
sleeps) into the ham shack :) Hmmm seems like a large sacrifice..
