63 Teams Invited to World RadioSport Team Championship

The World Radiosport Team Championship 2018 (WRTC 2018) organisers have announced the 63 teams that have been invited to compete in the international event next July in Germany. The World Radiosport Team Championship is a competition among two-operator teams. Team leaders have been selected for each qualifying region based on 2 years of qualifying contest scores. Team leaders may choose any operator as a teammate to complete their team.

“This will be a very competitive field. The top three teams of WRTC 2014 in Boston will participate once again in the 2018 event!”

— said Ulf Ehrlich DL5AXX who managed the selection process

Completing alongside WRTC veterans will be a number of first-timers representing 35 countries. The mixture of experience, background and nationality should not only bring a strong competition but build comradery and friendship in the spirit of amateur/ham radio.

To be added to the confirmed teams will be a number of Youth (under 25)and Wildcard teams.
