Why wasting two years with qualification contests when everything is
already played since the beginning with some huge geographical
advantages plus station setups ?
A simple form describing the station geographical position and
eventually the station setup should be enough to determine who is
qualified in a given area.
That way, the cheaters could not be tempted to cheat to compensate those
disadvantages...
Provocative ? yes but the whole process is not well thought out and
tempting to improve it by upgrading LP to 100% had just increased the
cheating.
The only way should be like LU5DX suggests some local mini-WRTC like
qualifications.

I think that in order to achieve this, the qualifications need to be
in the same spirit. They need to be transparent, and no score should
be at even slightly shady or suspicious.
Unfortunately, recent qualifications didn't look like that at all. I
will not comment on the qualification scores except that some are
extremely questionable.
I will propose to the WRTC committee to define set of general rules
regarding qualifications. In order to participate in the
qualifications, operators must sign up as a qualifier for WRTC
and accept these new general WRTC rules.
If they don't comply, they can’t qualify.
General rules:
* Only station that sign up can qualify for WRTC competition
* During a qualifying contests period, a contester must accept anyone
who wishes to inspect his equipment and monitor operating.
* After any qualifying contest ends, audio and video of the whole
contest must be uploaded immediately to a dedicated WRTC server for
possible inspection.
These are simple rules that would significantly reduce cheating. They
would allow for self-control within our community. They would show
that WRTC and fair play stand together.
