PRESS RELEASE #1
Redwood City, CA. August 19, 1995
The Potomac Valley Radio Club (PVRC) and the Northern
California Contest Club (NCCC) announced today that the site of
the 1996 World Radiosport Team Championship (WRTC-96) will be
relocated from Washington, D.C. to the San Francisco Bay Area of
Northern California. "The competition, which will run in
conjunction with the IARU HF World Championship, will remain the
weekend of July 13 and 14, 1996," said Bruce Sawyer, AA6KX,
Co-chair of the event and past president of the NCCC, WRTC-96's
new host organization. The NCCC hopes to publish formal WRTC-96
rules before the end of the month. Sawyer also said that the
NCCC expects to make a number of changes to the team selection
criteria previously announced by PVRC. "NCCC intends to contact
everyone who already has submitted an application under the
previously-announced selection criteria to explain the new
procedures and make sure that those individuals understand what
they must do to be considered under the new selection criteria.
The NCCC foresees making a number of announcements over the next
several weeks to ensure that the contest fraternity is fully
informed about the changes to WRTC-96."
The WRTC, first held in Seattle, WA in 1990, pits two-person
teams comprised of some of the world's top operators in a head
to head competition. To emphasize operator ability, each team
runs the same amount of power and operates from stations having
similar antenna systems and located in the same geographical
area.

W6OAT at 651 Handley Trail, Redwood City, CA 94062, USA or via
