I didn't get to play very long, but it was a lot of fun. The WRTC stations clearly were operated by the best in the world. With modest stations, they heard me with no more than a couple of calls on CW and they had very consistent rates. 

I managed to work a number of the HQ stations that were usually quite a bit stronger. For some reason, the RSGB HQ station just could not hear me. I guess their good ops were out supervising the WRTC teams, hi.

The 2026 24 Hour IARU RadioSport (Olympiad of Ham Radio) ended at 1200Z this morning.  Not only was chasing stations exciting, but the back-and-forth real-time on line scoreboard was captivating, with only 7% separating the top six.  Hats off to these truly incredibly accomplished competitors.
