Interesting history in the second link showing it's DARC origins dating back to 
1936.

Hello Al,

 

Thanks for the good wishes.

 

I just have checked the rules of the first WAEDC 1955 again, you can find them 
here (but German language only, sri – it’s an extract of the original DL-QTC): 
http://www.darc.de/referate/dx/archives/waedc1955.pdf .

 

Some important rules were already part of the 1st WAEDC:

-          Separate 48 hour parts for CW and Phone (no RTTY at that time yet) 
at that time both on two weekends in September,

-          Traffic only between Europeans and Non-Europeans,

-          The famous and unique QTC traffic.

 

If you want to know more about the WAEDC history, one of my predecessors Ben, 
DL6RAI has prepared a nice write-up in English, included here starting from 
page 3:

http://www.darc.de/referate/dx/archives/waedc2004.pdf

 

I hope we can keep up this tradition despite all modern changes…

 

Best 73 de Joerg, DL8WPX
