The Real Stars of WRTC: A Moment of Gratitude
Please look out for LY7J Lukas, he was part of the media team and took really great pictures.
Lukas worked long hours to provide us with the memories we are happy to share the next decades.
ALL of the media team did VERY well. WRTC 2026 can be proud of that professional team!
Also Nodir EY8MM made dozens of great photos, as usual.
You are more than welcome to use the images from this site. I kindly ask that you credit @DM9EE.DE when you post them, so people can easily find the source. Thanks for your support!
Another personal note:
WRTC is always an intense, high-energy event filled with competition, camaraderie, and the shared passion for amateur radio. But sometimes, the most impactful moments happen away from the rigs and antennas. On Monday evening, a sudden medical emergency reminded us all of what truly matters.
Another participant found themselves in serious distress, requiring immediate medical attention. Before emergency services could even arrive, a fellow attendee—who is probably also a licensed ham—stepped up with first aid rucksack and AED. Alongside a few other bystanders and hotel staff, they immediately took charge of the situation, administering professional care and keeping the individual stable until the ambulance arrived.
In moments of crisis, we are incredibly fortunate to have people among us who can remain calm, think clearly, and provide immediate, professional help. Their presence can make all the difference.
After the ambulance departed and the tension began to ease, people were returning into the bar, I happened to find myself standing right next to her. I took the opportunity to look her in the eye and thank her deeply for her quick action and dedication. She simply nodded, carrying the quiet humility of someone who just did what needed to be done.
When I asked if anyone had offered her a drink yet, she smiled and said a Cola would be fantastic.
We talk a lot about the top operators and the high scores at this event, but for me, she is the absolute star of the weekend. Thank you to everyone who watches out for their fellow hams, both on the airwaves and in real life.
