Contest Day 2/3

Looks like this will be contest day 2 for the 15m and 18m Classes and contest day 3 for Open Class. We are now on task B for 15m and 18m.

Open Task A:

15m Task Bravo

18m Task Bravo
All our pilots are airborne. Jerzy and Willem have started. The start gate for 15m opened 7 minutes ago at 13:56, so I expect Dave to start shortly. All tasks have a short leg to the west and long legs to the NE, into the eastern part of Hungary.

The concern is an approaching weather system that is already spreading high cloud into the Szeged region which is visible as a layer of cirrus. However, at this point, there are still cu showing under the cirrus. The edge of the heavier cloud is still west of the western turnpoints and we are all hoping our pilots will complete the western part of the task before the crud moves in.


There is also a band of rain west of the Danube but it has dissipated over the past few hours.
