Ljubljana, Slovenia, July 12th, 1999
The Organization Committee is well its way in preparing for WRTC 2000. Apart from
technical and other organizational tasks, we have been very busy finding an adequate
solution for national team selection.
Please note that the deadline for submission of national team applications is 31st October, 1999.
We extended the deadline for wild-card applications until 31st
December, 1999.
We certainly expect the best and most experienced international contest operators on
the national teams. The number of wild-card teams is small and it really doesn't bring any
guarantees to anybody. Guys, you better make it sure you get yourself on the national
team! Put another "DX" way: "Work'em first, ask later!". And once
again for those applying as wild-cards: It is NOT necessary that you took part in all
contests we mentioned in our first communique.
Now something about USA team selection. Clubs from Europe and other parts of the world
will be advised soon. For the selection of US teams, we used club scores from the three
biggest and most important contests (CQWW, CQWPX and ARRL). Each of the clubs listed below
will select a team leader from it's own members. The team-mate can be anyone else
following these two requirements: he/she must be from outside the club (i.e. can not be a
member of the team leader's club) and must be an American citizen.
Below is the list of nine American clubs responsible for the selection of US teams in
alphabetical order:
| 1. Florida Contest Group |
6. Potomac Valley Radio Club |
| 2. Frankford Radio Club |
7. Society Midwest Contesters |
| 3. Mad River Radio Club |
8. Southern California Contest Club |
| 4. North Coast Contesters |
9. Yankee Clipper Contest Club |
| 5. Northern California Contest Club |
|
In case that some of the listed clubs would not like to nominate their teams, please
let us know before September 30th, 1999. For further information.we would very much
appreciate, if club leaders could contact us on the following e-mail address: scc@bit.si
Additional information will be frequently posted on our WWW page.
Other questions may be send to committee.
