[CQ-Contest] WRTC 2022 Stations - Why the silence?

I saw an interview that K5ZD did on not only his WRTC experience this month but also describing the variances of stations and problems that occurred.  I have to say that I am surprised by the silence on this forum about competitors' experiences after listening to Randy's interview.  Is there a reason for the silence?

It sounds like some competitors, like Randy, had an airconditioned B and B and were fortunate to have no significant line noise.  Others were essentially in hot barns.  Others had varying amounts of line noise that caused one group to have to move the mast - antenna assembly Saturday morning after having given up on the site the day before and another was virtually wiped out by line noise for a number of hours when night activated lights came on.

Since the last 3 WRTC were very solid in the "everyone is in the same situation" implementation, I guess I am surprised that no one has written about it here.

Folks, we only learn from our experiences.  There is nothing gained by silence.
