RSGB Contest Results May UHF 2013   
v4.145 by G4CLA

May 432 MHz to 248 GHz Contest 2013

Again conditions & UK activity were generally reported as being quite poor although some stations managed to work some reasonable distances on the various bands. Entry level has made a welcome increase on recent years with more people becoming equipped for operation on the higher bands.
Colchester CG, winners of the overall Open section & G3XDY, winner of the overall SF section lead by a considerable margin.
Congratulations to all certificate winners, notably:

  1. Colchester CG of Colchester RA as the overall winners of the Open section and were leaders on 5 bands.
  2. The Nothern Lights CG as overall runners-up of the Open section & placed an entry on a total of 7 bands.
  3. John Quarmby G3XDY as overall winner of the Single Operator Fixed section winning all 5 of his entered bands.
  4. Neil Underwood G4LDR as runner-up of the Single Operator Fixed section, placing an entry on 6 bands.

Many thanks to all entrants & to those active on the bands during the contest. Good luck for the next major UHF contest on the weekend of 5th/6th October 2013.
