I would suggest that anyone who really wants to go to WRTC this round put a
good effort in. What was before very unlikely for most of us is changing.
If you take a look at the competition, or should I say lack of competition, in
many of the US areas, its pretty stark to say the least. I was number 1 for a
while in NA1 and now I am number 3. And Number 4 is significantly below me. I
am not even trying to go this time. And I am in W1. What does that tell you?
Why is this? My theory is that the competition format is no longer the desire
for many of us. M2 with 2 operators virtually all of which can multitask on
SO2R if not do dual band CQing for some si just not representative of "the best
of the best" any more. That’s my opinion.
Whatever you think the cause might be. Take a look at WRTC 2014 or 2018 at
this point and look at 2022. Its amazing the difference.

Joe,You don't have to have a big station to compete. If you do low power you
will only compete against other low power stations. Bryant, KG5HVO is in first
place in my region NA5. He has done a bunch of low power efforts with little
competition and has got the maximum points for those contests. His score is
higher than the top HP station K4AB, which has a big station. But to be fair to
Larry he hasn't done as many contests and will probably leap back to 1st
place.JeffSent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

standings update I just love this WRTC Competition.Well at least the part where
they all use almost the same modest stations part.And that's just it. (I'm
puttying my Flame retardant suit on now) I would like to see this
Qualification procedure run say two ways.Divide them up, 1/2 as it is now,
anything goes, balls to the wall competition. Mega super stations and all that.
Giant towers stacked yagis etc..Then the other half, have the qualification be
like the stations they will be using.A 3 element tribander at like 40 feet or
less, and dipoles. and barefoot rigs. Of course no spotting too.I bet there are
quite a few operators out there that are just as good and even possibly better
than many of the guys that get to go, but these other guys never will be able
to go because their stations just cant compete with multiple stacked towers
etc.Level the Qualification playing field some too. for at least 1/2 the
field,that would be a neat experiment yes?Joe WB9SBDSigThe Original Rolling
