Is there any news on WRTC competitor callsigns?  Or are you are still
waiting to hear from the Bundesnetzagentur?  Any estimates when that may
happen?

Just the WRTC callsign "pattern" will be helpful, even if not finalized.
We don't need the complete list of callsigns to set up CW Skimmer Server,
just a few examples of what the callsigns might look like.

If you decide to keep them completely secret until the contest starts, to
discourage "pirates," that's OK, but it would help us (Skimmer Ops) to know
that.

Thanks.

73,
Bob, N6TV
