Good Evening
I am competitor for 2023 but not following the discussions anywhere.

PY2SEX/PC3T and me will be the SA4 Team and all we are doing now
is waiting for the WRTC with a very humble project to be "Top 30",
even using a regular M/2 setup without 2BSIQ, SO2R, ecc ecc ecc...

I don't know about the future, just think that living for the present
is better than wait anything for the future. I got my SA4 position
by lucky, I recognize, but that's ok. WRTC still have a bunch of super-
hiper-ultra champions, and the best of all - it's a nice time to meet
all other contest-interested friends from all over the world...

To escape that "political Olympics mess", the best way is to be like
me - no WhatsApp, no lists, no mess... hi hi hi.

Well, just my 'two cents'. 73 DX and thanks to you and cq-contest
list guys for all those QSO's last 20 years...
