[WRTC2006] WRTC2010 TL Selection Critiera - Addl. Questions

[Alex Tkatch]

Dave,
 I had never operated Sprint- to get to my station and
back takes almost as long as Sprint lasts. I have
tried NAQP CW twice and made it as #2 on second
attempt. Don't work in it since-don't like it for some
reason. 
 I can make it in top ten Sprint if not after first
time then on second. To make it more interesting you
want to bet $100 on that? However, I may not have a
station by then... 
 I still think it should not be in criteria, but will
compete if it's there.
 Why don't we include Dayton KCDXC pileup into
competition? After few bears it may as hard as Sprint
:) No cheating there-so no HA in top 100 ever!    

 Looks like EU and US folks agree that EUHF
Championship need to be weighted less and ES5TV 
calculations somewhat prove that. 
So, Harry, may be something like:

CQWW (CW&SSB)                      950
RDXC                               910
WPX (CW&SSB)                       780
IARU                               760
ARRL (CW&SSB)                      720
WAE (CW&SSB)                       700
EU HF                              600
SS (CW&SSB)                        600
NA Sprint (CW&SSB)                 520
KCDXC pile up                      520 (he-he) 

Thanks, Alex KU1CW/EU1CW
