Jim, in the beginning we thought it was cool to have a YL team here in our
Bavarian Contest Club.
However once they began kicking our behinds... it wasn't quite as cool as we
thought (hi).
Our girls are GOOD!
We are campaigning to get WRTC here in Germany in 2018.
If successful, I will be very busy because my company will (probably) be
sponsoring the antennas.
I first thought it was a great idea, until I learned it would be 60 teams.
It doesn't come out of my pocket, but I'm on the service delivery side.
Can you spell W O R K ! (hi)

Of course. The same thing happened in Russia four years ago -- EU ops tended
to do better.
I chatted with W6OAT on Sunday at the NCDXC picnic. He was referee for the
team that was two German YLs. He described them as superb operators.
The placed a very respectable #21, 0.3% behind N4YDU, and with an excellent
1.3% error rate.
