SR> OK - clarify this:  Are you defining "DX QTH" as "outside the territory of

Scott,

Yes, your HOME AREA is W8, W9 and W4 (TN, AL, KY) and the DX AREA is
anything else.


SR> If this is the case, following up on the message I just sent, then what you are

SR> It is easy to surmise from comments about normalizing DX scores to others in
SR> the region vs. the home region and only allowing 4 of 8 contests to be
SR> submitted from "DX QTH's" that the people who are going to be selected for WRTC
SR> are those who have a competitive station in their home region and operate FROM
SR> THERE for most or all of the major DX contests.  If you're a great op that
SR> either has no home station or habitually goes outside the home region to
SR> operate from the domestic side in a DX contest or from DX QTH's in an attempt
SR> to compete at the top of the SOABHP category, you don't have much of a chance
SR> of being selected to operate at WRTC-2010.  

Scott, there are a looot of contests left to get 4 good scores from
your HOME AREA. I am sure there many guys around who can offer their
set-ups for such good scores !!!

73s, Harry RA3AUU

SR> You guys need to completely rethink the maximum 4 DX contests of 8 submitted.
SR> Especially if you are defining "DX" as "anywhere outside the home territory".
