EUROPEAN RADIO TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP 2014 [ERTC 2014] Two Press Releases
--
Press Release June 24th:
SPECIAL EVENT STATION OF3ERTC ACTIVE STARTING THIS WEEKEND --
YOTA (Youngsters On The Air) is a youth movement inviting fifteen
European
national youth teams to a selected rotating EU location every year to
get
together, learn from each other and experience various aspects of
Amateur
Radio through meaningful and entertaining concepts emphasizing
social,
radio communication and technology skills. OF3ERTC is a special event
Amateur Radio station active in conjunction with ERTC 2014 from July
18-20th, while OH2YOTA will be active from the actual event site in
Virrat, Finland starting July 16th.
ERTC is a voice communication (VoIP) contest where two-member
national
youth teams try to make a maximum number of contacts with a maximum
number
of countries within a defined time period. ERTC uses a Virtual
Amateur
Radio platform (HamSphere) where amateur radio-like operating is
conducted
on the Internet with amateur radio-like bands and operating features
such
as current radio propagation together with beam antennas and
amplifiers
plus an online logbook, awards and QSLing backed up with learning
material
and an exam free entry gate. All this makes HamSphere a highly
suitable
application to learn about real Amateur Radio and help youth to
discover
Amateur Radio in their regular hangout, the Internet. See:
PARTICIPATING COUNTRIES -- Belgium (ON), Bulgaria (LZ), Croatia
(9A),
Czech Republic (OK), Estonia (ES), Finland (OH), Italy (I), Lithuania
(LY),
Netherlands (PA), Poland (SP), Romania (YO), Slovakia (OM), Sweden
(SM),
United Kingdom (G) and Spain (EA). These country-teams are currently
active in Virtual World Amateur Radio practicing and preparing for
their
trip to Finland. Also, some invited Exhibition Teams will participate
in
the event over the Internet.
This weekend's OF3ERTC combo activity is courtesy of OH1RX, OH2BCI,
OH2BH, OH2MM, OH2PM, OH2UA and OH6KZP on Real Amateur Radio while
OH9MM
will activate OF3ERTC on HamSphere. QSL OF3ERTC via OH2BH.

Press Release July, 3rd.
EUROPEAN TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP (ERTC) 2014 --- OF3ERTC
Many were probably wondering what last weekend's Special Event
station
OF3ERTC was all about. This weekend OF3ERTC will again hit the
airwaves
through the efforts of Pertti, OH2PM and Rami, OHJ2BCI on
frequencies
detailed in the OF3ERTC QRZ.com listing. <www.qrz.com/db/of3ertc> Also,
OF3ERTC will take part in the IARU HF World Championship with Raimo,
OH2BCI,
former SRAL President, at the helm. This will be an addition to the
OH2HQ
group. Similarly, it is very likely that an OH0W multiplier will be
activated during the IARU weekend.
ERTC is a Virtual World version of WRTC - to be held one week after
the
Boston event. Almost one-hundred youngsters will travel to Virrat,
Finland,
to compete under WRTC-like rules with their QSOs to all corners of
the
world to be made with real people on Virtual Amateur Radio bands!
The event is financed by the European Union and the International
Amateur
Radio Union, Region 1.
Many real stations are also scheduled to enter this ground breaking
event, among them Tim Duffy, K3LR who will bring his "real virtual"
team
to participate in ERTC 2014 as an "Exhibition Team". Make sure you can
see
the distinction between "real" and "virtual" and their variants
"virtual-
real" and "real-virtual".
You can keep up with the event as it evolves on QRZ.com. More
details
will be released soon about this unique virtual concept, involving
