The first
qualifying event for the 2022 World Radiosport Team Championship (WRTC 2022)
will be held this month - the ARRL International DX CW contest - and the WRTC
organizing committee has launched its official website and posted the initial
qualification rules.
According to the ARRL
Letter, the committee is trying to make the event accessible for more teams
from more places, noting that "WRTC is now for everybody," not just
big guns. The selection areas will be geographically smaller to provide more
chances to qualify for all contesters on all continents, and team leaders will
select operating partners from the top ten applicants who did not qualify as
team leaders. WRTC 2022 will be held in Bologna,
Italy, the
birthplace of Guglielmo Marconi. The official website (English version) is at <http://wrtc2022.it/en/>.
