2012 NA CW Sprint | WRTC2014 Qualifier Event


The next 2014 World Radiosport Team Championship (WRTC) qualifier is the 2012 North American Sprint - CW where one exercises wet ware at maximum and wireless technology at the edge in the dual for clear channels of communication.

The event is RadioSport's formula one race where engines run near the red line, the driver is tested at each hair pin curve, and there is only one set of tires to compete with never mind not having a pit crew. 

The North American Sprint - CW is all at once about speed at the same time it's about surviving the track and taking the checkered flag. Likewise, Sprint CW is all about rookie drivers because, later in the event, those turbo charged SO2R drivers are looking for points not necessarily at the red line of words per minute either!

As qualifying tracks goes, this one is designed for North America leading into the ARRL DX Contest - CW international qualifier scheduled for later in February. This is going to be a Le Mans like affair where stamina and smart pit stops makes or breaks a driver's score and standing.

Current qualification spreadsheets are posted at WRTC2014 mother ship including a list of qualifying events for team planning.

Keep in mind 2012 North American Sprint - CW rules because nobody wants a red card or DQ going into WRTC2014. Currently, I'm positioned 137th out of 831 in W6 land and my goal is to be in the top 100 going into the championship year.

Contest on.
