WRTC2014 Announces Invitation of Team Leaders

WRTC2014, Inc., host of the 2014 World Radiosport Team Championship (WRTC),
is proud to announce the operators that have been invited to form teams for
the competition to be held in July 2014. In addition to the 51 Team Leaders
who emerged from the qualifying process, the announcement includes two Wild
Card selections, a Youth team, and the defending champion from WRTC2010.

The selection process was managed by Dan Street, K1TO, himself a 3 time
competitor and winner of the event. "The competition for a place at WRTC2014
was very close. With qualifying points available from an unprecedented 55
events, it was terrific that a number of the Selection Area races came down
to the very final qualifying event -- ARRL DX SSB 2013."

The maximum possible qualifying score was 11,600 points. WRTC2014 Chairman
Doug Grant, K1DG, noted, "It is impressive that more than 25 applicants
scored over 11,000! WRTC2014 will have the highest-qualified Team Leaders
ever."

The Team Leaders come from all continents; 27 from Europe, 15 from North
America, five from Asia, two from South America, and one each from Africa
and Oceania. Ten of the Team Leaders in North America are first time WRTC
competitors. By comparison, Europe produced a more veteran group with only
eight rookies among the 27 slots.

Two wild card teams were selected from among the remaining applicants.
Street explained the selections, "Suad, DK6XZ, finished less than 6 points
out of the last Team Leader spot in EU2, thus being the closest
non-qualifier.  Alex, LZ4AX, is well known for his consistently solid
efforts from K3CR, including his first-ever USA Single-Operator All Bands
victory last year in the CQ World Wide DX Contest."

The Youth Team is a special category created by the WRTC2014 organizers to
recognize contesters less than 25 years of age. Filippo, IZ1LBG, posted a
terrific set of qualifying scores to claim the spot.

According to tradition, the previous WRTC champion receives an automatic
invitation to defend the title. Vladimir, RW1A, winner of WRTC2010 in
Moscow, has already indicated his desire to compete in New England.

WRTC is a competition among two-operator teams. Each Team Leader will select
one Team Mate for the competition. Team Leaders must accept their invitation
to WRTC2014 and nominate their Team Mate by October 15, 2013. If a Team
Leader is unable to accept, the invitation will go to the next highest
qualifying applicant from the selection area.

Once all of the Team Leader invitations are accepted, there will only be one
other way to gain entrance to the WRTC2014 competition - through a Team
Sponsorship. A Team Sponsor donation earns the right to select a team. Only
two Team Sponsorships are currently available. Contact Doug, K1DG, or Randy,
K5ZD, for details. Sponsored Teams will be announced at a later date.

There are less than 10 months remaining until WRTC2014! All questions
regarding WRTC2014 team selection should be submitted by e-mail to
teamleader em wrtc2014.org.

About WRTC2014

The World Radiosport Team Championship (WRTC) is held every four years and
consists of 50+ two-person teams of amateur radio operators from around the
world competing in a test of operating skill.  Unlike most on-the-air
competitions, all stations are required to use identical antennas from the
same geographic region, eliminating all variables except operating ability.
Previous WRTCs have been held in Seattle (1990), San Francisco (1996),
Slovenia (2000), Finland (2002), Brazil (2006), and Russia (2010).  More
information is available at www.wrtc2014.org or contact WRTC Chairman Doug
Grant, K1DG, via e-mail at k1dg em wrtc2014.org.
