[WRTC2006] WRTC2010 TL Selection Critiera - Addl. Questions

That's a pretty snotty comment Steve.  I have never been interested in a 4
hour contest and it has not been worth my time and effort to get my station
together for it.  I know that's heresy to Sprint Fanatics like yourself, but
for those of us who have limited opportunities to operate, and fixing
everything beforehand is a major undertaking, Sprint does not rate highly
for me, and never will.

That's EXACTLY my point, only you were being too condescending to realize
it.  Passing mults IS  a basic operating skill, and one that is ESSENTIAL in
A DX contest or WRTC Event, which is EXACTLY why the 36 and 48 hour
MULT-PASSING DX contest events should be much higher weighted!  And as you
should know, ALMOST EVERY TEAM THAT HAS EVER PLACED HIGHLY IN A WRTC EVENT
HAS **EMPHASIZED** MULT-PASSING!
