World Radiosport Team Championship 2014
July 8-14, 2014

Welcome to the home of WRTC2014!

The World Radiosport Team Championship (WRTC) is held every four years and consists of approximately 50 two-person teams of amateur radio operators 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).

WRTC2014 will include 59 competing teams from 29 qualifying regions around the world. This will be the largest and most competitive WRTC yet!

K3LP and AI6V Help WRTC2014

Dave, K3LP, won an FTDX3000 at the DX Dinner Friday night. He donated it to WRTC2014 and it was “silent auctioned” Saturday night at the Contest Dinner. Carl, AI6V, was the high bidder and is now the proud owner of the radio!

WRTC2014 thanks both of these gentlemen for their generous support!
