Although I have been rather quiet on the contest scene lately, I simply couldn’t resist the temptation to jump back into the action — squeezed in between my “grandpa duties” of course!

The arrival of the WRTC stations was just too good an opportunity to miss, and soon the old contest spirit was awake again. Hunting down these special callsigns brought back that familiar excitement of chasing multipliers, tuning the bands, and enjoying the thrill of the chase.
