International championship IARU HF World Championship 2008 priniesol množstvo zaujímavých výkonov aj z krajín strednej Európy, vrátane Slovenska a Českej republiky. Súťaž, organizovaná Medzinárodnou úniou rádioamatérov (IARU), každoročne preveruje schopnosti operátorov v pásmach krátkych vĺn, pričom hodnotí počet uskutočnených spojení (QSO), násobičov a celkový bodový zisk. Kategórie sú rozdelené podľa druhu prevádzky (CW, SSB, MIX) a výkonnostných tried (QRP, Low, High Power), ako aj podľa počtu operátorov (Single alebo Multioperator).

Among the Slovak stations, the OM3KWZ team (OM7AA, OM7RC, OM7LM) took the best place, which in the multi category achieved 319,200 points for 778 connections and 168 multipliers. In the individual categories, OM0A stood out with a gain of 250,173 points, followed by OM7DX with 213,150 points. Among the successful participants there were also OM7AG, OM4DN and OM7PY, who confirmed the stable performance of Slovak operators.

Among the Czech stations, OL8M recorded the highest point gain with an excellent result of 1,871,568 points, which was the most among all participants in the region. A high level was also shown by OL6P, OK3C and OL7T, which were among the best teams in the Multi category.
The results of the year 2008 confirmed that operators from OM and OK countries are among the stable European top. Their technical preparation, tactics and experience from international races once again contributed to the good name of amateur radio in the region.
