> Announcing - The WRTC-Style IARU HF Championship 2003 Team 
> Competition!
> 
> What Is It?  Two-operator teams will participate in the IARU 
> HF Championship contest following WRTC-style rules.  Teams 
> will pre-register the operators and callsign to be used.  
> Results will be collected and reported on an honor-system 
> basis via the CQ-Contest and 3830 reflectors.
> 
> Why?  WRTC-style competition has created quite a bit of 
> interest since 1990. Since WRTC can't be held every year, 
> it's important to keep the WRTC flame alive.  By operating 
> under WRTC-style rules, within the IARU HF Championship, 
> contesters have the opportunity to sharpen the skills needed 
> for WRTC-style events.  Plus, it's fun to operate as team.
> 
> How Are IARU Logs Submitted?  Since operation will be 
> completely within the existing rules for the Multi-Single, 
> Mixed-Mode category, submit your logs to the IARU log 
> checkers normally.  There is no effect on IARU scoring or 
> reporting.  Regular IARU participants will get no extra 
> points from working a WRTC-style team callsign.
> 
> How Are WRTC-Style Scores Submitted?  Email your team's score to me
> (n0ax at arrl.net) within 1 hour of the end of the contest (by 
> 1300Z, 13 July) including QSOs, QSO points, and multipliers 
> by band and a total score.  I will sort out the scores by 
> IARU Zone and publish the list on the 3830 and CQ-Contest 
> reflectors within 24 hours.
> 
> How Are Teams Registered?  Your team's operator calls and the 
> callsign that will be used during the contest should be 
> emailed to me no later than 1200Z, July 11th - that's 24 
> hours before the start of the contest.  I will regularly 
> publish a list of team calls and operators up until that 
> time. You will also need to provide an email address to me 
> that I can use for any updates to the rules, score submission 
> addresses, etc.
> 
> What Are the Rules?  Use the WRTC-2002 Rules
> (http://www.wrtc2002.org/rules.htm) with the following exceptions:
> 
> Rule 3 - 160-meter QSOs are allowed.
> Rule 8 - This set of rules is waived with the exception of 
> using DX spotting assistance and non-amateur means to solicit 
> QSOs - these are still prohibited. Rule 9 - Any logging 
> program may be used. Rule 12 - No log checking is performed - 
> only scores are submitted. Rule 14 - Winners will be 
> announced from each ITU Zone. Rule 16 - The only Setup 
> Restrictions are:
> (1) 100-watts maximum output power.
> (2) A single multi-band directional antenna for operating on 
> any of the 20-15-10 meter bands, no higher than 25 meters 
> from the ground.
> (3) A single wire antenna for the 160-80-40 bands no longer 
> in any dimension than a 160-meter half-wave dipole and no 
> higher at any point than 25 meters from the ground.
> (4) There are no restrictions on interconnection of the 
> station computers or radios.
> (5) Operators may use either radio at any time within the 
> limitations of the IARU rules.
> 
> Will There Be Referees?  If you can convince some poor soul 
> to sit there and listen to you operate for 24 hours, be my 
> guest, but it's not required.
> 
> Will There Be A Big Party Afterwards With Food and Beer?  Go for it.
> 
> That's it!  Let's keep it simple and have fun.  Think up some 
> interesting antennas or challenge other two-person teams in 
> your region.  Remember - this is an HONOR SYSTEM contest.  
> Operate within the IARU rules and we'll just trust everyone 
> to follow the setup rules.  I encourage you to post a 
> complete description of your operation in the IARU Soapbox 
> Web page that will be hosted by the ARRL.  We can have a 
> little bit of WRTC fun every year until the next event comes along!
