[CQ-Contest] The new era of Hamradio contests; win a cash prize

Also forgot to mention that anyone who qualified for WRTC is compensated as well. You only have to pay to get there and your accommodations and meals are paid for. The resort in Brazil for the WRTC I operated in was very nice and the food was great!

I think the winners from W/K , VE, G and DL got an all expenses paid trip which included airfare and a week before the contest in a nice resort. Many of the winners,which many were well known contesters, joined the VP9AD operation.
