Organising Committee Announcement 27 July 2026

The WRTC 2026 Organising Committee have become aware of a number of discrepancies contained within log files from competing stations at this year’s event. Consultation with the Judging Committee has confirmed that these findings are of particular importance as they may impact on the finishing positions of the teams.

An emergency meeting was called between the Directors of the OC where this was discussed and it was agreed that the Judging Committee should continue analysis in order to prepare a report for the OC. Whilst we do not want this to take a long time, I have instructed that this must be a thorough and complete re-analysis to enable the results to reach a position of absolute conclusion.
The UK OC have always held the fairness of the competition at the heart of what we have done. Maintaining the integrity of WRTC so that it has a future of positivity and growth are very important to us. WRTC has no place for foul play. Actions that the minority choose to take that adversely interfere with the competition will be tackled rather than accepted.

Once we have a final outcome, it will be passed to the Sanctioning Committee for endorsement prior to public announcement.

If competitors have any further information that could be useful to the judges, please send this to Tree N6TR: treen6tr@gmail.com

Thank you for your patience as we address this important issue.

Mark Haynes, M0DXR
Chair Organising Committee, WRTC 2026
