WRTC 2018 Activity Program

The WRTC 2018 Activity Program was installed to not only to create big pile-ups for the WRTC stations during the WRTC 2018 (July 14th / 15th 2018) in Germany. We also want to honor your effort to make these pile-ups possible. By sending in your log shortly after the competition you help us to do the best possible log checking amongst the WRTC competitors. We hope to create an interesting competition that provides fun for all.

Good luck to all of you!
