After staying ahead of all others in African qualifying for the 2010 World Radiosport Championships, Jorge Taboada Pareja EA9LZ was caught at the wire by a late rush from Juan Hidalgo EA8CAC.
With Pareja not scoring any WRTC points in over a year, Hidalgo slowly but surely reeled him in, finishing four points ahead of EA9LZ thanks to a final low power regional victory in the 2009 Russian DX Contest, earning EA8CAC a final 728 points.
WRTC qualifying in Africa was dominated mainly by operators coming to Africa to operate major contests, and notching big scores, taking away the chance for high numbers from the locals.
At stake is one team leader slot from Africa in the 2010 World Radiosport Team Championships in Russia.
Here are the top five operators from Africa as found by radio-sport.net. You can see a top scores spreadsheet link at the end of this data.
P>Qualifying is now over for the 2010 WRTC.
The unofficial results produced here by radio-sport.net include the final published results of the 2006, 2007 and 2008 IARU, the 2006, 2007 and 2008 WAE CW and WAE SSB, the 2006, 2007 and 2008 CQ WW CW and SSB contests, 2007 and 2008 ARRL DX SSB & CW, 2007, 2008 & 2009 Russian DX, along with the 2007 and 2008 CQ WPX SSB and CW tests.
(Radio-sport.net has tried to be as accurate as possible. If you find a mistake, or that your score line is missing a contest result, please send us an email and we will be happy to check and correct the numbers.)
The qualifying rules allow you to submit your top eight scores from certain contests. No more than four may be from multi-operator efforts.
You will note that some scores in the spreadsheets have been colored in. All multi-ops are noted with a yellow background. Scores from a contest operation outside of your home WRTC region are colored in blue.
A score that was both outside your home region and from a multi-op has a purple color.
At the WRTC web site you can not only see which stations have sent in their entries, but also click on their calls to see how they arrived at their score.
Your final score represents the best eight qualifying scores from WRTC contests over the past three years.
Remember - this does not assure them a spot in Russia next year - as each station must submit an entry to the WRTC organizers by October 1.
