Right before I left for SMCfest I sent out an update saying we still had a long way to go, 90 tickets, to meet our goal. Well, we did it! We sold 97 tickets by the end of day. However, we decided not to do the drawing at SMCfest.
We will draw the winner at W9DXCC, September 15th-16th. We will ship the radio to the winner so you have it before the contest season starts.
We will continue to sell tickets if someone still wants a chance to win and support WRTC 2018. The cutoff for ticket sales will be September 9th.
Thanks to everyone for making it possible for SMC to be one of the largest US Club supporters of WRTC 2018.
