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
2. Frankford Radio Club
3. Mad River Radio Club
4. North Coast Contesters
5. Northern California Contest Club
6. Potomac Valley Radio Club
7. Society Midwest Contesters
8. Southern California Contest Club
9. Yankee Clipper 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 [at] bit [dot] si
Additional information will be frequently posted on our WWW page.
Other questions may be send to committee.
