I heard from my friends that there is going to be a major amateur competition in Taiwan end of April, somewhere on 22nd. Is that true? I can't read Chinese so I really can't search the Taiwanese internet sites published in Chinese. Anybody knows about this competition? I would greatly appreciate if someone can share the information if there really is such event. Thanks in advance!
