Hi folks,

the upcoming WPX SSB contest (March 24-25 2018) will fill the band with thousands of contest calls. Among the crowd there will be a number of the larger WRTC team.

What do we mean by larger WRTC team? WRTC is not only an event for the 126 active competitors. There are also 63 referees performing the hard job of observing 2 channels of high speed qso traffic for 24 hours. Beside this there are more than 300 volunteers working in support roles. They will support the WRTC with nearly a week of their own time to set up and support the 63 operating sites south of Berlin. Many of the volunteers are also contesters and will be taking part in the WPX contest.

For you to identify these volunteers we have provided an XDT-File for wintest with the names and VOTA numbers of the volunteers. The VOTA number exculsively identifies a WRTC 2018 volunteer and is valid for the VOTA Award (http://wrtc2018.de/index.php/en/activities/wwqr-award-me). It consists of a Prefix and a running number. For instance Dave, K3ZJ, will give out K-001 and Manfred DK2OY, DL-016.

The wrtc.xdt file also contains the calls and names of all competitors and referees. Please import the file into your contest logging program and give the WRTC TEAM a short “GO WRTC” to motivate them for the very special event coming up in summer 2018.

Wintest instructions:
  Download the XDT-File: http://wrtc2018.de/images/wrtc.xdt
  Save the file into /ProgramData/win-test/extras
