[WRTC2006] WRTC2010 TL Selection Critiera - Addl. Questions

[Igor Booklan SRR]

Hi George!

Thanks for the offer.

As you see this is the most difficult question especially for DX QTH
people. We all respect their effors to put up setups in remote
locations but we must respect those who build way bigger set ups at
their countries as well.

Let's what we can come up with.
