WORLD RADIOSPORT TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS
STEPHEN/ANCHOR: We open this week’s newscast with a question: Are you ready for the World Radiosport Team Championships? Ed Durrant DD5LP found some people who are.
ED: The Amateur Radio World Championship in Germany can attract whole families. Here’s an example from Chemnitz – Rita Görner, DG0EQ, her OM Carsten Görner, DG0JCG, were able to inspire their son Tim, a shortwave listener, to volunteer with them to help on the WRTC. Rita and Carsten have been licensed since 1992 and participate in Field days and other activities with their local club. The prospect of experiencing their Field Day atmosphere (which is always very enjoyable) at the World Championships was reason enough for the family to apply to help out as a team. Rita and Tim Görner look after the competitors. Carsten Görner assumes the coordinating role of the so-called site manager and said “In the club we spoke extensively once the venue was announced, about how we could help. You have to be part of world championship when it takes place in your own country. That was very clear to us.” Although the family team was prevented from attending the test days in the Wittenberg – Jessen region last year, they are looking forward to their tasks in July. “It’s going to be a great experience and we’ll do everything we can, to make sure competitors and referees feel comfortable on our site,” says Rita. “And getting to know the best Contesters in the world and being able to look over their shoulders will be really great,” says a delighted Carsten. Tim Görner, who caught the radio bug as a SWL, is still in the stress of exams at school but soon will complete a course for his ham license. Creating the best conditions for the competition teams was one of the most important tasks in the entire organization. The organizing team also wanted to offer opportunities to around 370 helpers, that they gain new experiences and meet interesting people.
For Amateur Radio Newsline, this has been Ed Durrant DD5LP.
