[ARDF] George KF6YKN wins bronze

[Bruce]

Really ???

But all those little tracks in the depressions were quite unreliable!  
In fact the map is one major reason I was late; my shortcut to the  
finish failed. Since the terrain off-track was far less runable on  
Friday than it was on Wednesday, the 'missing' tracks were far more of  
a problem.

I guess if you were using only tracks for O navigation it is a toss-up  
which map was worse, but for RadiO the effects of the differences from  
reality on the 2nd map I'd judge as more fatal :). I also wonder about  
the mapping of the open areas, as deep orange open could range in  
reality from fast run to stumble amongst the tall grasses, with bonus  
hidden creeks to fall into.

Cheers,
Bruce
