The eagerly anticipated 2010 WRTC is finally done and in the can and the results have been announced.
In a very close competition, Vladimir Askenov RW1AC and Alexey Mikhailov RA1AIP using the call R32F won a very narrow victory over Team Estonia, R33A operated by ES5TV/ES2RR in the 2010 World Radiosport Team Championship.
In a demonstration of how close the competition was, Team Estonia garnered 4,084,889 points, 99.675% of the winning Russian score. The R32F team won with a total score of 4,098,162.
Even though R33A came in 2nd place overall they did win the award for most SSB contacts and multipliers.
Operating as R33M, Dan Craig N6MJ and Chris Hurlbut KL9A came in 3rd place with a total score of 3,942,904. Dan and Chris managed to make 3,549 contacts and lost no multipliers during log checking. The competition was so close, had Dan and Chris made just 16 more mults, they would have won overall.
For fourth place S50A/S57AW, they had too many log errors and ended up losing 8.5% of their QSO’s – 323 in all, dropping them from second to fourth.
In fifth place, K5ZD/W2SC had the same problem as N6MJ/KL9A – not enough multipliers.
