Upper left: The “beer trailer” keeping things nice an cool for the entire weekend.<br />

conducted in English.<br />
The German Organizers, Alexander<br />
Wunschheim and his crew, ran a virtually<br />
flawless three day event. The organizers<br />
for the 2011 Worlds will be challenged<br />
to hold a contest that is this well run.<br />
There was a tent for transmitter impound,<br />
another for the <strong>com</strong>puter system that<br />
ran the scoring and the round timing<br />
(<strong>com</strong>plete with digital countdown clock<br />
visible from anywhere on the field). There<br />
was a big tent for food staffed by friendly<br />
volunteers from the local club and their<br />
families.<br />
Also, something you don’t see at<br />
American contests, a beer truck with<br />
foamie beverages available throughout<br />
the contest (only in Germany!). One had<br />
to be careful to not take a bad round<br />
too seriously, one might be tempted to<br />
drowned ones sorrows!<br />
