D4C 2019 CQ-WPX SSB Team is set

This time D4C opened the doors by extending the Guest Operator invitation to YOTA Youngsters On The Air members YL3JA Kristers Misa (20) and YU5EEA Ljubomir Zivkovic (18) have been selected as Team Members. They will enjoy first hand the Monteverde experience. Additionally, thanks to the kind sponsorship of N0VD Kelly, we are able to offer to them conditions almost near to Youth Contesting Program (YCP) LINK

Contest category will be basically M/M  #youcallweanswer

Additionally, we are glad to have two US operators on-board, K1EP Ed but the special mention goes to the almost 9000 km trip of  W7ZR Richard, who will make his journey from Arizona to Cape Verde. The first zone 3 guy on Monteverde!! Welcome Dick!
