Petkov, K1LZ</STRONG>, U.S. Fundraiser for the WRTC 2010 Organizing Committee,
reports: "I am writing to you today to ask for your financial support of the
upcoming WRTC Championship Competition that is being held in Moscow, Russia,
this coming July 2010. </FONT>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>"As you may already know, this event is the 'Olympics of
Amateur Radio' and about 50 teams from all over the world will compete for Gold,
Silver and Bronze in the fields near Moscow.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>"This time, teams will be set up in tents with generators
supplying the power and special new rules will allow both operators to make
contacts in a modified form of SO2R with interlocked radios – meaning only one
signal at a time is permitted on the air.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>"Our Russian friends have laid on what sounds like a
wonderful week of amateur competition for competitors and spectators alike!
There will be some side-trips for visitors and, of course, WRTC week always
provides wonderful opportunities for socializing and just 'hanging out' with
some of the very best amateur radio contesting operators in the world. This will
be 'the place to be this July' – no doubt about it!</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>"Putting on an event of this magnitude is no small effort
both in terms of time and monetary expense. If you are a competitor or plan to
be a spectator, I ask that you please consider making a donation to this worthy
effort. If you are potentially a corporate sponsor, I also ask for your support
in the name of international brotherhood and radiosport competition. </FONT></P>

by law for USA taxpayers and can be made as follows:<BR>Please make your check
