Ljubljana, 25th April 2000
Time is running fast and we’re getting real close to WRTC. We still work on those little, but most important details. After the list of teams and Referees had been released, we hereby announce the list of call-signs assigned to WRTC stations.
Decision on the call-signs has been made quite some time ago, but Ministry for Transportation and Communications only issued the bill, making S500A-S599Z series of calls available to the Organizing Committee, at the end of March. Special S5A-S5Z call-signs were also released for the purpose of promotion of the WRTC2000. Mentioned short call-signs will be used by members of the Organizing Committee all the way until WRTC. Same calls will also be used in the IARU HFC at stations with official observers. The official observers are neither competitors nor referees.
After the contest, their logs will be used for processing logs of the WRTC teams. If you wish to operate in the IARU HFC as an official observer, please let us know. Send an e-mail to scc [at] bit [dot] si
In order to avoid any unpredictable situations, we would again like to ask you all, who have not send their application, to do so immediately. We’ve asked for your applications in Communiqué No.5, however as we see, there are quite a few, who do not know how to apply. If you intend to com to Bled, please send an e-mail to scc [at] bit [dot] si or borut [dot] farcnik [at] s5 [dot] net and let us know when you plan to arrive, depart, what kind of lodging you wish, who is coming with you and so on. We need all requested information to make your arrival and stay as smooth as possible.
As you’re probably aware, the Organizing Committee is covering expenses for competitors and referees. They should also send in the requested information, haven’t they done it already.
Competitors will reside in double bed rooms in Astoria and Krim hotels. If you wish single room or wish to stay in another hotel, you will have to cover the difference in price.
All hotels and other buildings at Bled are within 500 meters and on the shore of lake Bled. For more information, please visit our web page at http://wrtc2000.bit.si or http://jzap.com/je1cka/wrtc2000/ ("mirror site" in USA).
For any possible questions you might have, please contact us at scc [at] bit [dot] si. Please pass the word on WRTC activities to your friends, local radio clubs and other hams.
See you at Bled.
