EUROPEANS DOMINATE WRTC COMPETITION
A LONG-STANDING KNOWLEDGE OF HF PROPAGATION FROM EUROPE SEEMS TO HAVE
BEEN A MAJOR ADVANTAGE IN THE DELAYED-UNTIL-2023 2022 WORLD RADIOSPORT
TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP (WRTC), HELD IN ITALY IN EARLY JULY IN CONJUNCTION
WITH THE IARU HF CHAMPIONSHIP CONTEST. ACCORDING TO THE WRTC2022.IT
WEBSITE, VIRTUALLY ALL OF THE TOP SCORERS WERE EUROPEANS. NO US TEAM
FINISHED HIGHER THAN 10TH PLACE.THE FIRST-PLACE FINISHER WAS I44W,
OPERATED BY UW7LL AND VE3DZ (THE ONLY NON-EUROPEAN IN A TOP SPOT).
SECOND PLACE WENT TO I43C, CAPTAINED BY DJ5MW AND DL1IAO; AND THE
THIRD PLACE WINNER WAS I49D, OPERATED BY 9A7DX ICENSES, THEN JOINED THE MINNESOTA WIRELESS ASSOCIATION
AND DEVELOPED HIS INTEREST IN CONTESTING. HF WAS MY LIFE, KEES SAID.
CONTESTING IS PRETTY MUCH MY MAIN THING IN AMATEUR RADIO ALTHOUGH I DO
BRANCH OUT AND DO OTHER THINGS.AMONG THOSE "OTHER THINGS" IS
YOTA-AMERICAS, IN WHICH HE HAS TAKEN ON A VARIETY OF LEADERSHIP ROLES
INCLUDING THE TRAINING OF YOUTH OPERATORS, SERVING AS QSL MANAGER FOR
W8Y CONTACTS MADE WITH YOTA CAMPERS AND SHARING HIS INTEREST IN REMOTE
OPERATING. A 2023 GRADUATE, AND CLASS VALEDICTORIAN, OF HERITAGE
CHRISTIAN ACADEMY IN HIS HOMETOWN, KEES WILL BE ATTENDING IOWA STATE
UNIVERSITY THIS FALL, WHERE HE PLANS TO STUDY AEROSPACE ENGINEERING.

HUNTSVILLE HAMFEST IN ALABAMA ON AUGUST 19. AMATEUR RADIO NEWSLINE, CQ
MAGAZINE, AND YAESU USA ARE PRIMARY SPONSORS OF THE AWARD, ALONG WITH
HEIL SOUND, LTD. AND RADIOWAVZ ANTENNA COMPANY.
