WRTC 2014 - 3 anni di contest... by I0ZUT

Con la pubblicazione dei risultati dei Contest  ARRL CW e  ARRL SSB  2013, si è conclusa, per la nostra zona, contrassegnata come  EU2, la selezione dei Team Leader, per la partecipazione all'Olimpiade o Campionato Mondiale dei Radioamatori, che si svolgerà il 12 e 13 Luglio 2014 negli Stati Uniti. L'Europa era stata divisa in 6 Zone denominate: EU1, EU2, EU3, EU4, EU5, EU6. L'Italia era sta inserita nella zona EU2, insieme ai: DL, LX, HB, HB0, IS0, IT9, 3A, 9H, T7; da questa zona sarebbero stati selezionati 5 radioamatori. La selezione è iniziata 3 anni fa, con il CQWW SSB 2010 ed è terminata con l'ARRL SSB 2013. 

I Contest, dove era possibile acquisire il punteggio erano: CQWW SSB, CQWW CW, CQ WPX SSB, CQWPXCW , RUSSIAN DX, EUHFC, WAE SSB, WAE CW. Nell'arco dei tre anni, erano 27 i contest ai quali si poteva partecipare e di questi ne venivano prese in considerazione le 12 migliori prestazioni di ognuno. Il punteggio per il primo classificato della propria zona, variava da 800 fino a 1000,  per i contest più importanti, mentre per tutti gli altri partecipanti della classifica, il punteggio veniva ottenuto dividendo il punteggio realizzato, per il punteggio del vincitore, moltiplicando il risultato per 100. I Team che parteciperanno alla competizione saranno 59 di cui 51 scelti da questa selezione, 8 riservati a sponsor, organizzatori, ecc. La classifica della zona EU2,dalla quale sono stati selezionati i primi 5 è la seguente: 

                                          contest fatti   contest validi  

1° LX1A        punti  10245           15                  12        di cui  come Multi Op.  6

2° IK2NCJ    punti  10004           22                  12         “   “     “             “         6

3° DJ5MW    punti   9954            16                  12         “   “     “             “         2

4° IK1HJS     punti   9896            16                  12        “   “     “             “         6

5° DL1QQ     punti   9708            20                  12         “    “     “            “         6 

Questi, sono i radioamatori che hanno primeggiato in una maratona, alla quale per la sola zona EU2 hanno partecipato 3422 operatori (gli italiani erano ben 1192). Saranno coloro che il 12/13 Luglio 2014, una volta scelto il compagno d'avventura (la competizione prevede un Team di due operatori), competeranno nel NEW ENGLAND (USA), contro altri 54 Team, per conquistare uno dei trofei messi in palio dagli organizzatori ( SSB, CW, MIX, MOLTIPL) e per fregiarsi dei titoli di Campioni del Mondo.

Analizzando la classifica ,che si puo trovare sul sito  www.wrtc2014.org , cliccando prima sulla voce: Qualification Standings,poi su EU2, si potrà osservare che sui 3422 partecipanti di questa zona, in sostanza, quelli che hanno lottato per la vittoria, saranno stati massimo una ventina; il 95% italiani e tedeschi. Molti hanno partecipato con un solo contest. Tra gli italiani (1192) i primi 25/30 sono quasi tutti delle zone 1,2,3,4, segno evidente di cultura e attrezzature diverse per questo tipo di attività. Un risultato importante, anche a seguito della continua opera di promozione e informazione fatta dai vertici della nostra Sezione, è stata ottenuta dai Radioamatori perugini : 19 nominativi,(circa il 20% degli iscritti) sono presenti nella classifica generale, di cui tre, primi nella zona 0. Ovviamente, ben lontani dalle prime posizioni, dovuto sopratutto alla carenza di attrezzature, alcuni con un  solo contest, ma avendo tutti la possibilità di dire:

....in quella classifica “c'ero anch'io”....

  • The Hurricane Watch Net (HWN) is closely monitoring Invest 92L, which is expected to become Tropical Storm Isaias in the next 24 hours. According to HWN Manager Bobby Graves, KB5HAV, the potential area of concern for this storm is a wide swath of the Gulf coast, extending from Louisiana to Florida. Graves says there is no HWN activation at this time, but the net will go into operation if offici...

  • It’s been a half century since single sideband (SSB) supplanted amplitude modulation (AM) as the most popular voice mode on HF, due largely to its spectrum efficiency, occupying roughly half the bandwidth of an AM signal. Now, there’s a new digital voice mode from FreeDV called Radio Autoencoder, or RADE, that occupies half the bandwidth of an SSB signal and reportedly provides more natural-sou...

  • ARRL The National Association for Amateur Radio® is following two new federal proceedings concerning radio frequency (RF) exposure. On September 17, 2026, the FCC and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) initiated parallel comment periods on RF safety issues. Neither inquiry changes the current FCC RF exposure rules that apply to all radio amateurs but could lead to changes in...

  • This week, we’ve pulled together a few items that touch on practical antenna work and some digital modes. There’s a good look at a multi-band portable dipole, something that comes up often for field day or SOTA ops, detailing a switching arrangement for 40 through 15 meters. We also have a piece on building and testing 50 MHz traps, comparing different capacitor types—useful for anyone experimenting with 6-meter antennas. For those running APRS, a comprehensive symbol table is included, which is always handy for interpreting what you see on the map. Finally, we’ve got a mention of open-source firmware for LoRa transceivers and a popular Android application for APRS tracking, both relevant for modern portable and mobile setups.

  • JTTY brings RTTY-style contest exchanges to WSJT-X 3.2.0-rc1: 127 Hz GFSK, no T/R cycles, N1MM Logger+ support. See specs and suggested frequencies.

  • The suggested JTTY dial frequencies for every band from 160 m to 2 m, with 14.090 MHz as the initial meeting place. This page covers how to add them to WSJT-X and N1MM Logger+, and is updated whenever the WSJT team revises the list.

  • This week, we're looking at some interesting developments in the LoRa space, particularly how it's being leveraged for amateur radio applications. We've got a few resources that touch on mesh networking, off-grid text messaging, and the integration of LoRa with APRS. For those experimenting with portable setups or considering resilient communication methods beyond traditional HF, these items offer practical insights. There's also a utility for managing virtual serial ports, something that comes up often when interfacing modern transceivers or microcontrollers with logging software or control applications. It’s a mix of hardware-adjacent firmware projects and mapping tools, all relevant for operators keen on digital modes and self-contained systems.

  • This week, we’re looking at some practical antenna builds and a handy reference for precise timing. For those operating on 70cm, there are a couple of interesting options: a UHF Double Bazooka Antenna Construction guide details building with RG213, something worth considering for fixed stations needing a clean pattern. Then, for the mobile crowd, especially those on two wheels, a Vertical J-Pole for motorcycle use offers a compact solution for 430-450 MHz. It’s a robust design, which is key when you’re out on the road. Finally, for anyone needing to calibrate their rigs or just curious about propagation, the HF Time Broadcasts and Time Signal Stations List is a solid resource. It’s always good to have those frequencies handy, whether for a quick check or more serious experimentation.
