Hey guys!
What are we looking for????
The best best SKILL,GEARS,LOCATIONS or a COMBINE OF THOOSE THINGS ????????
You will never find out a way to show the best operator in the contest,
whatever rules we´ll have. THE QTH/LOCATION AND GEARS WILL GIVE US THE WINNER
IN ANY CLASS. The Operator skills is in at least of the top twenty of every
class is very hard to pinpoint, whatever execuse we have have. I think it´s
the operator /operators skills we try to find out...
To do that you need to give all the same chance to show the skill. You can´t
do that on the radio.
