WRTC Africa: 2007 CQ WW Results Keep EA9LZ In Lead; EA8ZS, EA8CAC Still In Chase

With only three qualifying contests left for the 2010 World Radiosport Team Championships in Russia, Jorge Taboada Pareja EA9LZ continues to hold his lead in the race for the one African team leader slot in WRTC Russia qualifying.

The updated results which include both CQ WW DX Contests from 2007 did not disturb the overall ratings, as Pareja picked up 732 points from CQ WW SSB, while Manuel De Aguilar EA8ZS and Juan Hildago EA8CAC grabbed 760 WRTC points.

EA8ZS trails by 786 points, with EA8CAC back by 986.

At stake is one team leader slot from Africa, and a lot could still change, as the top three right can add a lot of extra points depending on the outcome of both ends of CQ WW DX in 2008, and the final qualifying contest next year, the 2009 Russian DX test.

Here are the top five operators from Africa as found by radio-sport.net. You can see a full spreadsheet link at the end of this data.

• EA9LZ 3,570 - (5 scores)

• EA8ZS 2,784 - (4 scores)

• EA8CAC 2,584 - (5 scores)

• EA8MQ 2,284 - (8 scores)

• EA8BEX 2,138 - (8 scores)

Check out the full results spreadsheet for Africa.

There are two qualifying events left for stations in Africa, but results must still come in from six contests that were held earlier this year (Russian DX, WPX CW, WPX SSB, IARU, WAE CW and WAE SSB.)

The unofficial results produced here by radio-sport.net include the final published results of the 2006 and 2007 IARU, the 2006 and 2007 WAE CW and WAE SSB, 2006 the CQ WW CW and SSB contests, 2007 ARRL DX SSB & CW, 2007 Russian DX, 2007 CQ WPX SSB and CW contests, the 2007 CQ WW SSB and CW tests and the 2008 ARRL DX Contests.

(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.
