[CQ-Contest] 2022 WRTC Thoughts

[Richard F. DiDonna NN3W]

I have no idea how you;re going to quantify what constitutes a 
"super/mega" station or how that is somewhat necessarily a guarantee 
that a person would or would not be a more likely person to qualify.  In 
fact, we had at least two NA team leaders that qualified that are known 
to be predominantly low power station operators.

I honestly think the qualification rules for Germany as well as the team 
distribution allocation was pretty fair.

Good contesters are good contesters but, to the man (or woman), the 
contesters at Lutherstadt Wittenberg were world-class contesters.  A 
"good" contester who happens to do decently in some events is going to 
face a huge hill when competing against some of the talent that I saw 
and helped supervise.  Each person should seriously consider if they 
believe themselves to be a "good" contester or a world-class contester.  
Sounds elitist, but so too are the Olympic games.
