Ham radio WRTC 2014 in Wall Street Journal

The Wall Street Journal reports on the amateur radio World Radiosport
Team Championship 2014

Current and former military service members will anchor two of the top
teams gathering in the Boston area this weekend for what amounts to
the World Cup of ham radio, officially the World Radiosport Team
Championship 2014.

Retired Navy Vice Adm. Scott Redd, the former head of the National
Counterterrorism Center, is on one of the teams expected to compete
for top honors. Current Coast Guard Chief Warrant Officer Dave Mueller
is on another top team with NetApp CEO Tom Georgens. Serving as the
grand marshal of the event is Retired Navy Adm. Edmund Giambastiani,
the former vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staffs, himself a ham
radio buff.

The event, once every four years, requires teams of two people using
identical equipment to contact as many radio operators in as many
places as possible in 24 hours. In all, 59 teams from 38 countries are
competing.
