Hello SECC:

See the message below about WRTC 2002 in Finland to see that SECC has
received recognition and the ability to vote on teams from the USA for
the competition next year.
This will not be like it was in the past...that a club named a team
captain and he named someone from outside the club as a partner.  There
is some kind of voting that the clubs do for teams from the USA and the
sponsoring organization takes this into consideration in naming the USA
teams.  More details have been provided, but I don't have them before me
at the moment.  Let's keep up with future publicity on this so we can
use our votes in the best way possible.  I am interested in going as a
competitor next year and I hope Bill, W4AN will be able to meet this
time schedule to make a decision about his participation.

I think two USA wildcard teams will be named at a later date after the
contest club nominees have been selected.

73,

John, K4BAI.

Here are the first FAQs.

"How Do I apply to be competitor in the WRTC-2002 in Finland?"

If you are outside of United States, you should simply contact
the national IARU society and/or the leading contesting groups and
ask them whether you can apply as your country representative for
the WRTC-2002.
This assumes that you have some good scores made over the
past 2-3 years and that you or you together with your selected
teammate would be equally proficient in handling SSB and
CW operating effectively in contest environment. If you would
lack a local contact - you may wish to contact WRTC-2002
organizers directly as instructed at WRTC-2002 web.

"How about the U.S team selection?"

While the core U.S representation will be worked out in cooperation
with the leading U.S contest clubs, two "U.S wild card" slots are
reserved for two more U.S teams that may not get proposed
through this mainstream U.S club pre-nomination. Here, in case of
the U.S wild card teams, you will be proposing a team of two-men
while the basic U.S allocation would go in two steps. Selection of a
U.S captains,  following the captain's selection of their teammates.

"Which are the US clubs who will nominate teams for WRTC2002?"
The clubs are:
Yankee Clipper Contest Club
Frankford Radio Club
Potomac Valley Radio Club
Society of Midwest Contesters
Northern California Contest Club
Southern California Contest Club
Mad River Radio Club
North Coast Contesters
North Texas Contest Club
South East Contest Club
Florida Contest Group
Minnesota Wireless Association
Western Washington DX Club (Organizer of WRTC 1990).

"Team selection deadlines?"
15. June 2001 US club nomination/team pre-selection deadline
15. September 2001 US teams will be published (excl. Wildcards)
15. October 2001 National teams deadline
1.   November 2001 National teams will be published
30. November 2001 Continental pre-allocations (Wildcards) deadline
1.   January 2002 Continental pre-allocation teams will be published.
The organizing committee will soon contact national leagues, contest clubs and managers.

"Wildcard teams (= Continental pre-allocated teams), do we have to apply AS A TEAM (two persons) or can 
it be done like the last two times, eg application is prepared only by the 
team leader?"
Yes, you have to apply as a team.

"Can one person apply for more than one team?"
No, you can apply for one team only.

"Do team members have to be from the same country?"
Yes they have to.

"Who is a permanent resident?"

a) has "a permanent resident status" and
b) has continously lived at least two years per 21.04. 2001 in that particular country and
c) has a valid amateur radio license in that particular country.

"Will you count the results of WPX and IARU contests in 2001 for Wild 
cards?"
No, the official results come out in 2002 and that$B(Bs after the team selection 
deadline.
