Radiosport on Steroids!
2014 UK Contesters Mark M0DXR & Olof G0CKV watched by referee N5AW
Radiosport is the theme at Wythall Radio Club this week.
The World Radiosport Team Championship (WRTC) is the focus of our weekly meeting.
This is a radio contesting event, held every four years, which attracts the very cream of ham radio operators from across the world.
In essence, it consists of 50+ two-person teams of amateur radio operators competing in a test of operating skill.
Previous WRTCs have been held in places as diverse as the USA, Slovenia, Finland, Brazil & Russia. But it is the most recent one held in New England in 2014 that is the subject of this Tuesday’s club evening.
A fantastic video was made of this event and, thanks to our facilities in the club shack, we will be watching this on our own “big screen”.
What not come along and join us for this fun evening? This Tuesday 17th May at 2030 at Wythall House, Silver Street, Wythall B47 6LZ. You will be very welcome!
