HG7T - Contest Station - Hungary

Five years ago Tibor acquired a large flat meadow in the middle of a forest, east of Debrecen in Hungary. The location had been used by a DX chasing radio amateur and was approved as a good spot for HF antennas.

WRTC 2014 - Slovak Contest Group - OM8A

This is a very unusual case when a small contest club in a small country is represented in the WRTC competition by four members second time in a row. Slovakia is small and not so populous, but in certain fields it is called The Tatra Tiger.

WRTC 2014 Profile - Ashraf Chaabane, KF5EYY

He is number one on the list of competitors in WRTC2014, representing Africa in Team AF. He is also the only participant from this huge continent, apart from two referees from South Africa. This is a paradox of short wave contesting - the highest scores in worldwide contests are generated in Africa.

All contacts with WRTC2014 stations will be confirmed by QSL card via the bureau for DX stations and direct to US stations. All contacts will also be confirmed through ARRL's Logbook of the World. As an added incentive, each QSO with a WRTC team counts 5 points for the ARRL Centennial QSO Party.

WRTC2014 Profile - Ranko Boca, 4O3A

He has been on the air for 40 years now, with an interruption during the Balkan War in the 90s. It is going to be his third WRTC as a competitor, so actually he does not need a presentation for the contester community.

CR3L - Madeira Contesting Cabana

Walter, DJ6QT, discovered the advantage of Madeira island many years ago. I think it was in the late 60s that he first visited the floating garden of Atlantic for radio purposes.
