 WRTC call sign mystery revealed

A well kept secret of the *WRTC-2018* to be held in Germany next weekend
finally was revealed last night.
Some minutes after midnight local time, the German regulatory authority
BNETZA (similar to the OFCOM in the UK) published an official statement
concerning the assignation of special callsigns to the participants of the
competition.

According to that statement, the call sign block *Y2A* to *Y9Z* can be used
by the contesters. There will be a lottery which team gets what callsign
before the contest starts.

The Y2 block was formerly used by communist East Germany, the late "German
Democratic Repbublic" which perished in 1990. For more than 28 years, these
old call signs have never been issued again until now.

The original statement can be seen *here

 (in German Language):

*RADIO DARC*, the voice of the German Amateur Radio Club, will broadcast a
special DX magazine to North America on Saturday, 14th of July from 11:00 -
13:00 hrs UTC and will cover all background information concerning the
WRTC. A rented 300 kW transmitter on 13860 kHz will be used. For Europe,
the frequency is 6070 kHz with 300 kW also.
