Final results WRTC 2014.

It is only one month left to the only official contesting world championship. This contest is unique and distinguishable from all other competitions by a few factors. All organisations in the world sponsor this event through the Union.

Hideyuki, JM1LJS will be active from Chichijima Island (IOTA AS-031) Ogasawara from 29 april till 12 may 2009 as JD1BLK.

ON4AEO, ON7BK, ON4CJK, ZS6GC, ZS5AYC, ZR6AP, ZS6IMO, VK4AHT and VK4EMH will be active from Mozambique 9-13 april 2009 as C91FC.

Haru, JA1XGI will be active from Christmas Island 4 - 11 april 2009 as VK9XGI.

He is number one on the list of competitors in WRTC2014, representing Africa in Team AF. He is also the only participant from this huge continent, apart from two referees from South Africa. This is a paradox of short wave contesting - the highest scores in worldwide contests are generated in Africa.

The "WRTC2014 Chase" will run concurrently with the IARU HF Championship beginning on July 12 at 1200Z.

6K5YPW, HL5FUA and 6K2AVL will be active from Bangladesh from 7 till 14 march 2009 as S21KD

He has been on the air for 40 years now, with an interruption during the Balkan War in the 90s. It is going to be his third WRTC as a competitor, so actually he does not need a presentation for the contester community.

Gabriel, YO4HEK will be active during one year from Zambia as 9J2YO.

Masa, JD1BMM will be active from Marcus Island, Minami Torishima from 3 till 21 of march 2009.

Walter, DJ6QT, discovered the advantage of Madeira island many years ago. I think it was in the late 60s that he first visited the floating garden of Atlantic for radio purposes.

GW0ANA, MW0USK, DJ9ZB, DJ8NK, DJ6OI, DL8RBL, MW3LOI and DJ1AIB will be active in CQ WW WPX SSB Contest 28 - 29 march 2009 from Island of Man as GD8K.

The well-known saying claims that every man should build a house, plant a tree and have a son. I would extend this list, in case the man is a radio amateur, with one more goal – make certain that your son becomes interested in Amateur Radio.

Jim, W7EJ will be active in CQ WW WPX SSB Contest 28-29 march 2009 from Morocco as CN2R in SOAB Category.
