2021 144MHz UKAC - Review of the year

This series of contests continues to be popular with an average number of entrants per session of 302 (322 in 2020, 256 in 2019, 270 in 2018, 269 in 2017). There were at least 225 entrants in every session this year and entries peaked at 346 in the March session.

The number of locator squares active in each session varied between 47 (in December) and 71 (in August). The number of stations active in each session varied between 384 (in December) and 730 (in March). In total, 144,802 QSOs (157,241 in 2020, 123,419 in 2019; 129,250 in 2018) were made during the 2021 144MHz UKAC.

The General Club Category was won for the fifth year running by the 807 ARO who topped the table in eight of the twelve sessions. In second place for the second year running is the Northern Fells CG who topped the table in four of the twelve sessions. Also for the second year running, Wirral & DARC claim third place. Sixty-four Affiliated Societies (80 in 2020, 70 in 2019, 79 in 2018) competed in the General Club Category.

The top spot in the Local Club Category was claimed for the fourth year running by Hereford ARS who also topped the table in eleven of the twelve sessions. Northampton RC improved their position by one place this year to claim second place. Third place was claimed by Trowbridge & DARC. Forty-one Affiliated Societies (34 in 2020, 34 in 2019, 32 in 2018) competed in the Local Club Category.

Once again, the AO (400 Watt, unlimited antenna) section was won by Pete G4CLA who won six of the twelve sessions. David GI4SNA was in the runners-up spot, only 48 points behind G4CLA.

One hundred stations entered the AO section (111, 94 in 2019 and 2018).

The AR (100 Watt, single antenna) section witnessed a close battle between G4FZN, G4ODA and G3XDY. All of these stations managed to score more than 7800 points (out of 8000). To achieve success in the UKAC, consistently high performance is required in at least eight of the twelve sessions and Chris G4FZN (assisted by Pauline G8HQW) produced this year's winning performance by amassing 7971 points, beating the runner-up Keith G4ODA by 66 points. John G3XDY was in third place with a score of 7892. Pete 2E0NEY was the leading Intermediate Station in this section and is awarded the Intermediate Shield.

In the AL (10 Watt, single antenna) section, four stations scored at least 7,700 points (out of 8,000): G1YBB, G8DMU, M0ICK and G1PPA. The winner was Steven G1YBB who won seven sessions and was highly placed in an eighth session to score 7929 points. Tony G8DMU was in second place, only 71 points behind G1YBB. Mick M0ICK was in third place with 7743 points. Mark 2E0SBM was the leading Intermediate Station with 6216 points.

A certificate is also awarded for the station who provides the most stations with their best DX on each band in the UKAC across the year. The winner of the Best DX certificate on 144MHz this year is PA5Y who provided 334 stations with their best DX in the 144MHz UKAC.
