ZL1AIH and YD1JZ New Leaders In Oceania WRTC 2010 Regions

By Jamie Dupree NS3T, radio-sport.net 

Change was the buzzword in the World Radiosport Championship qualifying scores for Oceania, as ZL1AIH and YD1JZ now lead the two regions, knocking out VK7GN and 9M6XRO.

In Oceania #1, which comprises New Zealand and Australia, Robert McCormack ZL1AIH is the new pacesetter, as he leads Wilbert Knol ZL2BSJ by 139 points.

Previous leader Martin Luther VK7GN dropped down to fourth, as he garnered no points from the 2007 WAE SSB, IARU or CQ WPX SSB contests.

In Oceania #2, the story was much the same as Joz Sefriano YD1JZ jumped from fifth to first place thanks to a top multi finish in the 2007 IARU test.

Those results enabled his teammates YC1KAF and YB1CCF to move up as well, as the three Indonesians fill out three of the first four spots in the Oceania #2 region.

Still in contention is the former leader John Plenderleith 9M6XRO, managed just enough points to stay in the second spot, though he now trails YD1JZ by over 400 points.

Under the Russian WRTC rules, one team leader slot is available from each of the two Oceania regions.

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.
