Mark Haynes, MØDXR, writes:
 
“On behalf of the WRTC 2026 UK organising committee, I am pleased to introduce Mark Pride, K1RX, as he joins our Fund Raising Team.  In this role, Mark will be the principle point of contact for Personal and Club donations 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!
