[CQ-Contest] WRTC 2018: Dayton Amateur Radio Association is New Platinum Sponsor of WRTC 2018

[Michael Hoeding, DL6MHW]

Hi Contesters,
... good news:

WRTC 2018 is pleased to announce that the Dayton Amateur Radio 
Association (DARA) supports the World Radiosport Team Championship in 
Germany as a platinum level club Sponsor with a significant financial 
contribution.

DARA is a non profit organization which manages the yearly Hamvention 
exhibition and fair in May. Hamvention is the biggest event of its kind 
in North America. Moreover Dayton is the meeting point for the 
international contest community, hosting also the Contest University. 
2017 was a very special year with the move to the new location in Xenia 
- a big and successful step for the event with a long tradition.

Michael Kalter, W8CI, from the DARA board stated “The Dayton Amateur 
Radio Association/Hamvention is pleased to become a Platinum Level 
Donor. Our club is happy to support this austere event and considers it 
an opportunity to promote overall excellence in Amateur Radio 
Operations. The nuances of communication techniques learnt in this event 
will elevate many areas of the radio service. Especially in times of 
emergency when solid communication is paramount. Thank you and good luck 
to all!”

Christian Janssen, DL1MGB, president of the WRTC 2018 Organizing 
Committee, emphasized “Dayton Hamvention has been the most famous ham 
radio meeting for many years. Dayton is the place where ham radio and 
especially contesting lives. The stamina of the DARA group to organize 
Hamvention year after year is an inspiring example and a boost for many 
ham radio projects around the world. The very successful move the the 
new location in Xenia gives us the certainty of many future WRTCs 
finding a safe harbour during Hamvention for networking and presentations.”

Michael Kalter will visit Hamradio Friedrichshafen next month and give a 
presentation.
