World Radiosport Team Championship

Ljubljana, Slovenia, February 12th, 1999

The Organizational Committee has checked all possible options for WRTC2000 team selection. Not too many contesters replied to our appeal for preliminary application from the Communiqué No.1, nor would different calculation methods give best solutions for team selection. What you will find below is the national team allocation based upon number of logs beating respective continent average score in different categories. However, a certain number of wild-card teams are allocated to different continents. Since Africa and Oceania only get one team each, teams will be selected as wild-cards.

Please note that wild-card teams will be selected from the list of applicants, so do not forget to apply! Certain number of applications have already been received and they will be automatically assigned to the list.
