Man.... talk about knocking the joy out of an event. 
*Hintings of cheating or dishonest strategies, (spotting advantage or 
disadvantage), 
*suggestions of changing the WRTC format to a "Sprint" format with qsy rules  
(IARU HF is not a Sprint), 
*skimmers and  cluster bs, (every contest) 
*suggestions of having contestants using a "low end" radio and dipole antennas, 
(is this the mainstream of contesting?) 
*wanting a mainstream magazine (other than NCJ) to run article to reflect the 
blog post, and 
complain that the contestants haven't posted comments on the blog 
( they tra veled to Russia, not Wisconsin for this competition, and at great 
personal expense. 
Some made t his a vacation of a lifetime after the contest,  cut  them some 
slack) 
maybe the reflector will clear itself of this before CQWW. 
I offer congratulations to all of the contestants and the sponsors!
