ANNOUNCING THE FIRST

WEST COAST REGIONAL

RADIO TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP

1200z July 12 - 1200z July 13, 2008

Sponsored by The Southern California Contest Club (SCCC)

The SCCC invites all amateurs in the 6^th and 7^th call areas to compete in this WRTC style competition to take place concurrently with the 2008 IARU HF Championship. Rules are patterned after the official WRTC rules. Teams of two may operate from any station in the region whose capabilities do not exceed the maximum criteria set forth in the rules.

While this contest will not be used by the WRTC committee to select WRTC contestants, it is the perfect opportunity for contesters to enjoy the WRTC experience without having to qualify to be on a team. WRTC contenders may want to try out their equipment and strategies in preparation for the main event in Moscow in 2010.
