Just a clarification on this. We would only be sponsoring one of the operating locations (which will be in tents like they did in Russia) NOT the operator who would use it. The operators will still be chosen they way they have been in the past by qualifying. This is different from past WRTC’s were someone could buy themselves a slot to be a competitor with a big $$ donation. If you sponsor one of the tents your club banner will be prominently displayed at that location and on the WRTC 2014 web site.

Many of the other major contest clubs are doing this. Come on SECC let’s join them and help out.

They are doing something different in WRTC 2014 by allowing a contest club sponsor one (or more) of the stations where a competitor would operate. The cost of the sponsorship is $1000.

I wondering if there might be an interest in the SECC to do this ? The club seems pretty good in generating donations for the GQP so I don’t see were this would be out of reach for us.

If just 10 members donated $100 or 20 members $50 we are there. Someone please forward this to the SEDXC reflector was well. They might have an interest since many of their members are also SECC members.

See http://wrtc2014.org/sponsors/station-sponsors/ for the details.

Having the good fortune of being a competitor in 2006 in Brazil (with K4BAI) I would encourage you to try to attend WRTC 2014 , even if you are just a spectator. It’s like the Dayton contest suites with an big international flavor.
