WRTC2002 ORGANIZING COMMITTEE LAUNCHES THE LINEUP OF WRTC2002 "WILD-CARD" TEAMS
At its meeting of January 5, 2002, the full Organizing
Committee reviewed the wild-card applications received
to date and other selection related support elements to
complete selection of the remaining WRTC country teams.
It was realized that the WRTC had now reached such
public exposure and popular appeal that an impressive
array of the world's most prominent operators were involved
in the preliminary process, mindful of the constraints imposed
by the current WRTC framework for facilitating all potential
competitors.
Every effort will be made to bring the contesting
world to Finland to join the event, not just as competitors
but also to perform other duties or just share in the
camaraderie of this friendly event.
The WRTC2002 Organizing Committee is pleased and honored
to welcome the following teams to Finland to compete and
meet the very best in amateur radio contesting:
