70cm UKAC - Review of 2012

Two clubs dominated the 70cm club section this year; Bolton Wireless Club and Spalding & District Amateur Radio Society.  Spalding pushed Bolton very hard in three of the sessions (and came top in another) but Bolton, by winning eleven of the twelve sessions secured their overall win.  Spalding & District ARS were the runners-up with the Travelling Wave Contest Group in third place. 64 clubs competed for the title of leading club in the 70cm UKAC.

In the AL section, G4ODA was the clear winner scoring 7970 point out of a possible 8000 and topped the table in seven of the twelve sessions. M1EYP/P was the runner-up scoring 7545 points.  G4HGI came third with 7500 points. 85 stations competed in the AL section.

The competition for top spot in the AO section was a close run affair between M0GHZ and GI4SNA.  In the final session, M0GHZ secured his fourth win of the year to claim first place with an overall score of 7056 points.  GI4SNA came a close second with three wins in the year and an overall score of 6996 points. G8OHM came third with 6432 points. 19 stations competed in the AO section.

The overall winner in the AR section was G4CLA who topped the table in seven sessions and came second in one session to score 7985 points.  G0XDI (sometimes /P , sometimes a fixed station) came second with 7902 points by winning two sessions, coming second in five sessions and coming third in one session. M1MHZ came third with 7750 points. 180 stations competed in the AR section.

The AX section was dominated by GM4JR who won every session and hence scored 8000 points. GM4JTJ came second with 5734 points and GM8IEM came third with 2849 points.  9 stations competed in the AX section.
