50MHz Trophy contest 2012

Those hoping for a repeat of previous year's dx bonanza conditions were disappointed. Sporadic E was just that; sporadic and, from many comments, meteor pings seem to have played a big part a lot of the time. Fleeting openings were commonplace and high error rates in many logs were testament to that. Many stations were also limited in antenna choice due to some inglorious British summer weather. All in all, 2012 was far from a vintage year.

Nevertheless, in winning section 6S, M0XLT demonstrated what's possible on 50MHz with a very simple station. Elsewhere, Bristol CG's trip to Jersey helped them retain the Telford Trophy and the Six Metre Cup was won by Romeo, YO4RDW, operating the Flight Refuelling club station.

Congratulations to them and all the other section leaders and certificate winners.
