As a competitor in WRTC 2000 I can endorse the comments already
made here on the reflector on the fantastic organisation of the event
by the Slovenians. From the time we were collected at the airport by
army transport it was obvious that Tine and his team had gone to
extraordinary lengths to ensure the success of WRTC.
While the competition was the core of WRTC, it was also a great
opportunity to put faces to many of the callsigns that I have worked
in contests over the years. I renewed aquaintance with some of the
people not seen since the first WRTC in Seattle ten years ago, and
met many others for the first time. It was a magical week.
Bled is a great location, and I will certainly be returning for a
holiday though I will miss the experience of walking by the lake and
meeting by chance people whose callsigns appear so frequently
in my contest logs.
As to the WRTC contest itself, we are disappointed by our placing
but the simple answer is that we were in the company of very many
top contesters! This event has enhanced the already considerable
reputation of the S5s in the contesting world and it is a week of my
life that I will never forget.
