RSGB Contest Results 144MHz May Contest 2020

v4.158 by G4CLA

This year's contest was held under the COVID-19 social distancing restrictions. Therefore, entries were restricted to the 24 hour and 6-hour Single Operator Fixed Station sections with no portable or multi-op entries allowed. Activity levels were well up on previous years, with over 160 entries, roughly 60% higher than in recent years. The 6-hour section was particular popular with 125 entries. There were 541 stations active over the 24 hours. Conditions were generally described as 'flat' or 'normal'. Many commented on the lack of planes, via which, even without knowing it, many VHF QSOs are made. Long distance QSOs were rare and the ODX column shows only a few QSOs over 600km.

Keith, G4ODA is the winner of the SF section this year, pushing last year's top two, David, G4ASR and Roger G3MEH down into second and third. Other certificate winners are Coen PA5KM, the highest placed non-UK entry, Mark G6DOD, this year's highest placed low-power/single antenna entry, the leading Intermediate Licensee is Rees 2E0IEI and the leading Foundation Licensee is David M7ALE.

Alwyn, G8DOH is the winner of the 6 Hour Section this year, with an impressive 213 QSOs and 91 mults, well ahead of David G3YYD operating M7T in second spot. Ian GM3SEK operating GM3S is in third place. Ian scored more QSO points than the section winner but was down on multipliers. In fact, the highest QSO points score in this section was made by Richard, GD8EXI, in fourth place. Certificates also to Mike G8CUL operating as F4VRB, the highest placed non-UK entry, James 2E0OUT the highest placed Intermediate Licensed entry, Donna M7DON the highest placed Foundation Licensed entry and Steve G0EAK the highest placed entrant running low power and a single antenna.

All entries will count towards the VHF championship as usual.

Thank you to all those who took part in what was very unusual circumstances this year and congratulations to all the certificate winners.

Pete G4CLA.
