Organisers of the World Radiosport Team Championship have announced that two teams of seasoned DXpeditioners and contesters are going to the 2026 competition in the UK after placing the winning bids to secure a place in the running. All other competitors in this international Olympic-style radio event qualify by virtue of their contest records but these two sponsored teams -- one headed by Adrian, KO8SCA, and the other by Cezary, SP5Y -- secured spots as winning bidders in an auction. The minimum bid was 20,000 US dollars.
The opportunity to purchase spots in the competition is a way of helping the event with its substantial budget. All teams are bound by the same operating rules
