I hardly believe to show up this year, as there are some 9A0HQ plans and
lack of antennas at 9A7P. But I hope WWYCers will be in even bigger number!

Fellow WWYCers,

I would like to draw everyone's attention to the IARU HF World Championship
that takes place between 1200 UTC Saturday July 10 and 1200 UTC Sunday July
11. For a second year in a row and in anticipation of WRTC 2006, a
WRTC-style competition is organized within the IARU contest. The rules are
similar to WRTC-2002 with a few exceptions to ensure conformity with IARU
rules. Ward Silver, N0AX maintains a website with all the relevant
information: http://www.wwdxc.org/wrtcrule.htm

Several WWYC teams participated in the WRTC-style competition last year and
it was great fun! The simple setup and the 100W power restriction make this
a very attractive contest. Personally, I also like the 24-hour format of the
contest and the flexibility of mixed-mode operation. You definitely need to
know where to be at all times else you miss some of the important openings -
no second chance in this contest.

I will be operating together with Marios 5B4WN/G0WWW from the Cambridge
University Wireless Society. We had a blast last year and I am sure we will
have a great time this year as well (some strategic improvements planned). A
few photos from our operation last year can be seen at:

I would like to encourage all WWYC members to form teams and participate in
this event. Hopefully, most of you will have finished your exams by then so
this will be an ideal opportunity for us to have a party on the air!

Go WWYC!

73, Stavros
