The numbers are all in for Central American qualifying for the 2010 World Radiosport Team Championships, as the unofficial radio-sport.net review of over two years of results shows that Teddy Jiminez HI3TEJ has claimed the one regional team leader slot.

Jiminez cemented his lead with a top low power finish in both the 2008 CQ WW SSB contest and the 2009 Russian DX test, giving him 665 and 728 WRTC points.

Those scores gave Jiminez almost an extra 900 points for qualifying and ensured victory over Olli Rissanen HP1WW.

HP1WW did pick up a few points from both legs of CQ WW, but it was not enough to catch Jiminez.

The only other operator with a chance to catch Jiminez was Alfredo Ramos WP3C, who like many others did not add any extra WRTC points, because he did single band efforts instead.

The Russian qualifying criteria gives Central America one "team leader" slot for the WRTC, based on the eight best scores in WRTC qualifying contests. Here are the unofficial numbers as determined by radio-sport.net.

• HI3TEJ 4,781 - (8 scores)

• HP1WW - 4,163 - (8 scores)

• WP3C 3,105 - (5 scores)

• HI3CCP - 2,760 - (6 scores)

• TI2KAC 1,664 (8 scores)

The full results - all unofficial - are available on a spreadsheet for Central America

Qualifying is now over for the 2010 WRTC.

(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.
