Yaesu Musen[1] has announced that it will support World Radiosport Team
Championship 2018 (WRTC 2018[2]) in Germany as the event's prime sponsor. Yaesu
Director Masao Mori, JA1COW, and WRTC 2018 President Christian Janssen, DL1MGB,
signed a Memorandum of Understanding on June 25 at Ham Radio 2016 in
Friedrichshafen, Germany. Yaesu, which marks its 60th anniversary this year,
will donate all rotators for the WRTC stations' antennas.
"Yaesu is happy to get into such close contact with the WRTC 2018 on the
occasion of the 60th anniversary," Mori said. "We are looking forward to
providing our long-standing experience in the cooperation with the great events
of Amateur Radio."
Jannsen said Yaesu's support was "a great step forward" toward meeting WRTC
2018's sponsorship targets. Also signing the agreement were Martti Laine,
OH2BH, and Volkmar Junge, DF2SS. Laine, one of the organizers of WRTC 2002 in
Finland, contributed his support to the negotiations. WRTC 2018 organizers
expressed their gratitude to Yaesu for "its most generous support as a token of
worldwide cooperation in Amateur Radio" and to Laine and Junge "for their
consulting and support."
WRTC 2018 will take place in mid-July in the Jessen/Wittenberg area near
Berlin.
