WRTC 2022 is happy to announce in advance one of the most important rules for the WRTC 2022 competition. The style of operating will be the same as for WRTC 2018:

“The competition will be as a full Two-Operator, Two-Transmitter (Multi-Two) operation with both Radio A and Radio B allowed to transmit at the same time. The only limitation is the radios may not transmit simultaneously on the same band, regardless of mode. For example, if Radio A is on 15M SSB, Radio B is not allowed on 15M SSB or 15M CW at the same time.”

This first press release about the official competition rules will be relevant for all WRTC 2022 competitors and it gives potential competitors the chance to practice according to this rule. This announcement is not a complete set of rules but defines how the Team will be allowed to operate during the competition.

The Score database has been updated with WAEDC Phone 2020 Claimed scorse and with the final scores of CQ WPX SSB 2020.

Next CQ WW CW at the end of November will be the LAST qualifying contest for WRTC 2022 and we wish you all the best for a good score. Participation in CQ WW SSB has been fantastic (over 35.000 participants) and we suppose that also in the CW leg we will have some like a participants record.
Enjoy your contest and do your best for WRTC 2022 !
