On behalf of the WRTC 2026 UK organising committee, I am pleased to share that
Mark Pride, K1RX has joined our Fund Raising Team. In this role, Mark will be
the principle point of contact for Personal and Club donations from North
America to the WRTC 2026 event for general inquiries or guidance regarding
different methods of making a donation. Please contact Mark with any questions
you may have regarding your donation in North America.
Just a brief note about Mark's background: Over 60 years of amateur radio
experience, contesting for the past 45 years in HF and VHF/UHF events with
several awards for top scorer in his region, a past president of the Yankee
Clipper Contest Club, past director of WRTC 2014 for Towers and Antennas,
leading 16 teams to standup 65 operating sites in 72 hours! Additionally, was a
Referee at the WRTC 2018 event in Germany for the Finnish team. And what is
particularly nice, Mark is retired and can provide our donor community with the
appropriate support leading up to the main event in July, 2026.
Mark adds this note: I am in the mode of paying it forward to the amateur
radio community with a keen interest in helping launch the youth into radio
sport. While supporting this particular role for the WRTC 2026 UK event, I
particularly appreciate the organisation's interest matching my enthusiastic
support of younger hams to this amazing experience. Four youth teams are
planned as well as activities such as a school visit which serves as a perfect
catalyst for giving back!
