RSGB Contest Results 70MHz UKAC 2013   
v4.145 by G4CLA

The popularity of this series of contests on 4m has been increasing year after year. Again a very welcome increase in participation for 2013 with a 32% increase in club entries & a 15% increase in individual entries. These 4m contests fall on the 5th Tuesday of the month & in 2013 this occurred 4 times: January, April, July & October (December falls on New Years Eve so no contest takes place this day). The best 3 sessions are used to calculate individual scores.

Please remember that the power restrictions for the 70 MHz UKAC sections differ from several of the other bands. Several entries had to be moved to different sections because power levels did not meet the section requirements.

The overall winner of the AL section was G8XYJ/P who was in top place for all 3 of his qualifying sessions. Section leader for the other session was G4VPD. The Camb-Hams team, G3PYE/P are overall winners of the AR section & are also in top place for all 3 of their qualifying sessions. Section leader for the other session was G8CUL. In the AO section, a team effort from the Tiverton (SW) RC takes top spot and win 2 of their qualifying sessions with G4FZN/P & G3TCT winning the remaining sessions. G3NPI wins the AX section by leading in 2 sessions, GM4JR leads the other 2 sessions. The Travelling Wave Contest Group were leading in each session of the club section, well ahead of last year's winners who took 2nd place, Bolton Wireless Club. Spalding & DARS were pushed down to 3rd position in the final session.

Congratulations go to winners, runners-up & all other certificate winners.
