[NCC] RE: WRTC update

[Scott Jones]

Update for July 10th. 

Ron (K8NZ) and Angela are safely at WRTC.  W3GH is also safely at WRTC.
Rumor was that AD8J was to be in OH, but nothing heard yet.

Tim, Pat and the rest of WRTC were on a bus heading to the Himos resort.
Check it out at www.himoslomat.fi/english/    Its a tough life!   Pat and
Tim are sharing the 4 man cabins with N5TJ and K1TO.

There will be realtime score updates on the web during WRTC.  WE will be
able to follow the progress of all the teams and see how they are doing
relative to everyone else.  Remember though, that these are not adjudicated
scores and will likely change dramatically after the judges get done.  
The link is:  http://www.wrtc2002.org/realtime.htm

I've printed out the OJ check off sheet that is located on the wrtc site.  I
would suggest everyone could use it, but you may need to mess with the
formatting a bit to get it to print well.   

Please share with the NCC reflector your WRTC/IARU plans?  I assume
some/most will be on..  Let me know as there is a chance I'd be interested
in operating if you have an opening... 

Let's all try to get on and work a few of the WRTC stations.  They can all
use our support, especially the K3LR/N9RV team and the VE3EJ/VE7ZO team.

Jukka, OH6LI put together the following propagation predictions from NE USA
and Mi-West US to OH for this weekend.  Don't think my vertical and dipole
will cut it on too many bands.

Hope everyone finds these updates useful or at least somewhat interesting.
