Ljubljana, Slovenia, March 1st, 1999
The Organization Committee and Contest Committee meet on a regular basis and work hard on different issues in regard to the
organization and logistics of the event. Quite a few questions, remarks and ideas were received in response to our first communiqué. We're carefully studying received material and will try to consider it in our further decisions. Results will be announced each time a particular final decision has been accepted.
Today, we're announcing the time schedule for the WRTC2000, as being accepted by the Organization Committee. A famous tourist location, the city of Bled, has been selected to host the event. Bled has ample accommodation and tourist facilities and is well know worldwide for its thousand years old castle overlooking the beautiful lake with a distinctive small island with an old church in the middle. It offers unequaled opportunities to large number of visitors. We therefore expect, that WRTC will be visited not only by competitors, but also by many other amateur radio fans, specially contesters with their families and friends. Come and visit "Slovenia - the green peace of Europe".
