Kari, what prevents you from organizing this pre-qualification runs for these 15-20 persons? Here on Urals (UA9) we have about the same number of active contesters and do it every year for the last 15 years. All you need is a field where all the participants themselves set up equal stations with the same type of antenna at the same height and run the same power (100W), Each participant brings a fiend who acts as a referee for the other participant. The best time for such an event is EU Region 1 Field day contest. We do it the first 6 hours of this contest and activity is pretty high. The result - we find the best operators regardless of how much money they have spent on their permanent station.

Just find 2-3 more people who will be able to help you to organize such an event and I will be glad to share our 15 years of experience and answer all your questions. It is a lot more of Ham Spirit then find excuses why you cannot do this in Scandinavia.

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..

Best 73s Kari SM0HRP
