RSGB Contest Results 1st 1.8MHz Contest 2014   
v4.145 by G4CLA

Since this contest first included SSB mode in 2011 the same two stations have dominated the UK Mixed Mode section.  This year G4PIQ has made it three in a row by winning the section and taking the Somerset Trophy.  Once again he won by a narrow margin over G4FNL in second place.  

Scores were even closer in the UK CW-only section where only 36 points separated the top three stations.  This year G3TXF landed in first place closely followed by G3LDI and G4FAL.  G6MC built up a commanding lead over the next three stations in the UK SSB-only section.  G4WBV and M0TAZ were in second and third place.

The Non-UK sections were won by DL1WA, EI5DI and HB9ELV in the Mixed, CW and SSB sections respectively.  Activity levels are boosted by the presence of stations from the Netherlands in their PACC contest, but in general they do not enter the RSGB contest.

Despite comments from home and abroad that there were few stations to be worked from the UK, participation did in fact increase a little this year.  However the addition of SSB has not achieved as large an increase as had been hoped.

This contest was the first in the 2014 HF Championship and was also an opportunity for short calls to be aired.
