WRTC 2022 Announces Site  Sponsorships
​
In July, 2023, elite amateur radio competitors from every corner of the 
world will gather in northern Italy to compare their skills on an even 
playing field in what has become known as the “Olympics” of amateur 
radio competitive events, the World Radiosport Team Championship (WRTC 
2022).
The competing teams will operate from sites in  Bologna area, and the 
Organizing Committee for WRTC 2022 is seeking site sponsors to help 
provide suitable facilities for each team.  Site Sponsorships will help 
cover the cost of all items needed at each of the 65 operating sites.

Since WRTC 2014, site  sponsorships have provided a means to recognize 
clubs, “silent keys”, and other supporters.
Each site will be prominently identified during the competition as 
sponsored by the club or group, in memory of a silent key, or otherwise 
as designated by the sponsor.
Requests to sponsor the site for a specific team or winners of a 
specific geographic region (such as “NA1”) will be honored on a 
first-come basis, so committing to sponsor a site as soon as possible 
will increase chances that your specific request can be honored.

Site sponsorships also will be acknowledged by WRTC 2022 in printed, 
web, and video materials in addition to being displayed prominently at 
the station location.  Multiple sites can be sponsored, and special 
recognition will be given to the club, group, or individual that 
sponsors the most sites. Clubs from all over the world showed their 
significant commitment to the WRTC idea with a site  sponsorship 
donation in 2014 in New England and 2018 in Germany.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the WRTC 2022 committee has been unable to 
solicit support in person, so your expression of support through tent 
sponsorships is especially needed now.

Site sponsorships are available immediately to clubs, groups, and 
individuals for 1200 Euros.

Please refer to our list of geographic competitive areas to sponsor a 
tent for your local area (see Section 3 of the Rules here: 
https://www.wrtc2022.it/en/selection-criteria-7.asp 
<https://www.wrtc2022.it/en/selection-criteria-7.asp> ).
We will accommodate requests for specific sponsorships on a first-come, 
first-served basis.
  For example, a club in New England may want to sponsor one of the 
NA#1stations.
  Please let us know your first and second choice.
  The list of Team Leaders and Team Mates is online.

The world competition in 2023 will be the ninth in the series that 
stretch back to 1990.  Previous WRTCs were  held in Seattle (1990), San 
Francisco (1996), Slovenia (2000), Finland (2002), Brazil (2006), Russia 
(2010), Boston (2014), and Germany (2018).
  The 2023 competition will bring together amateur radio competitors 
whose selection is based on the combined results of 12 worldwide 
competitions participated in over a period of two years and compared 
with other competitors in the same geographic region.
The competition in Italy will feature a two-person team and a referee in 
each site  in a 24-hour nonstop competition integrated into the IARU HF 
Championship.
  All competitors will use equal power, identical antennas, and 
equivalent operating sites.
Hundreds of other radio amateurs will be present to support them, and 
tens of thousands around the world will compete to work them.
