2018-July: WRTC, Wittenburg, Germany

Lutherstadt Wittenberg, is a town in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. It is situated on the River Elbe, 60 kilometers (37 mi) north of Leipzig and 90 kilometers (56 mi) south-west of Berlin, and has a population of 48,501 (2008). Wittenberg is famous for its close connection with Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation; also it hosted the World Radio Team Championship (WRTC) in 2018 - I attended as a spectator to see what it was all about.
