It's worth remembering that the organizers had to redo the location list on fairly short notice due to fairly disastrous unexpected upset (weather I think).  Considering that, I'd say they did pretty well.

Probably correct.  Plenty of us have given interviews and presentations to
clubs and groups - the narrative on location has been pretty consistent
(although my fellow PVRC club member team seem to have gotten a pretty
cherry spot)....

I saw an interview that K5ZD did on not only his WRTC experience this
month but also describing the variances of stations and problems that
occurred.  I have to say that I am surprised by the silence on this forum
about competitors' experiences after listening to Randy's interview.  Is
there a reason for the silence?

It sounds like some competitors, like Randy, had an airconditioned B and B
and were fortunate to have no significant line noise.  Others were
essentially in hot barns.  Others had varying amounts of line noise that
caused one group to have to move the mast - antenna assembly Saturday
morning after having given up on the site the day before and another was
virtually wiped out by line noise for a number of hours when night
activated lights came on.

Since the last 3 WRTC were very solid in the "everyone is in the same
situation" implementation, I guess I am surprised that no one has written
about it here.

Folks, we only learn from our experiences.  There is nothing gained by
silence.
