WRTC2002 REFEREE SELECTION UNDER WAY

The WRTC2002 Organizing Committee is pleased to make an announcement of several nominations for the referee function associated with the upcoming event in Finland in July of next year.

Olli Rissanen, OA4DMR (OH0XX) together with Roger Western, G3SXW will be managing the WRTC2002 referee function. In the interim, Ari Korhonen, OH1EH will assist the referee community by providing preliminary information needed for the selected referees to be able to proceed with their personal planning.

The first twenty-five referees were selected, and they represent the first wave out of a total of fifty (50) on-site referees, one at each participating site. The underlying reasons are practical - such as the organizers' desire to have the balance of Finnish (OH) referees nominated concurrently with the foreign ones. Here the fact is that few applications have so far been received from OH-land, while the local language capability is required in several site situations.

We are now pleased to welcome the following veteran contesters and WRTC experts to join in the worldwide fun at WRTC2002:

K1VR, K6KR, K9JF, K9ZO, N2AA, N7BG, W6UM
4Z4KX, DL6LAU, F6BEE, G4BUO, SM3CER, SM3DMP, SM3EVR, T97M, TG9AJR, UY5XE
OH1EB, OH2JA, OH3BU, OH4XX, OH5BM, OH5NQ, OH6OS, OH6RX.

The second wave will be launched January 30, 2002 and the third by March 15, 2002 at the latest. Please follow the progress of WRTC2002 at http://www.wrtc2002.org
