CE2SV(VE7SV) - Dale
On my 15th birthday in 1960 I took the Canadian Amateur exam and became VE7BFN. I was fortunate to have many Elmers who guided me down the path to DX'ing and then contesting. My love affair with amateur radio had begun.
One of my greatest lifetime thrills has been to attend every WRTC event to date either as an operator or as a referee.
In 2013 I was honored to be inducted into the CQ Contest Hall of Fame.
My father Earl, VE7AGC/VA7UA, even though his key is now silent, continues to motivate my passion for our hobby.

RA9USU - Dmitry
I became an amateur radio operator when I was 8 years old. Forty years later, I'm still enjoying the hobby. DX-peditioner, contester, and sailor at heart, I visited 123 countries and operated from some of them too. Throughout those years, I maintained good relationships with fellow amateurs, hoping that the WRTC's good-will spirit would prevail. Together, we will overcome all the challenges this world brings us. Keep the hobby alive!

SP4Z - Wieslaw
I became a ham radio in 1976, age of 11. This hobby inspired me to become an electrical engineer. I have ca 300k radio contacts in my log with all DXCC countries. DXing and Contesting as a "deadly disease" will stay with me forever. Despite other modern communication techniques, it has the charm that you have a radio and an antenna and you don't need anything else. You don't know who you'll meet on the bands, how Contest will run. We depend only on propagation, experience, appropriate strategy, skills. These aspects I can learn from the best operators of the World in WRTC Bologna as a referee.
