[TVARC] World Radiosport Team Championship (WRTC)

[w3us at casa-aloha.net]

Many thanks Paul for spreading the word on this event.  The 100 operators at 50 more-or-less equal stations are the cream of the contesting world.  As Paul stated, they need our support.  Call signs have been released and are attached below.  My personal goal is to work all 50 stations.  We’ll see how that goes.

73 and good luck,
Rusty - W3US

If you're on the air and hear one of the stations, they'd love for you to answer their CQ! (I have a devil of a time contacting English hams, but I'll try.)
