RSGB Contest Results VHF Championship 2014   
v4.144 by G4CLA

The VHF Contests' Championship aims to provide an overall result for the year - based on a representative selection of contests. The contests that count towards the Championship are: March 2m/70cm (the overall 2 band normalised score), 432 MHz Trophy, May 144 MHz, 50 MHz Trophy, 144 MHz Low Power, 432 MHz Low Power, 144 MHz Trophy, 70 MHz Trophy, 1.3 GHz Trophy & 2.3 GHz Trophy (combined score)

All stations entering these events are automatically included in the Championship. There is a Single Operator Fixed Station section (SF), a Single Operator Fixed Low Power section [less than 25W to a single antenna] (LP) and a Open section [Groups and Portables] (O).

All entries have been re-allocated and re-normalised from the original sections and points scores in each qualifying contest. The re-normalisation is against the best scoring station/group in each individual Championship section.

All Single Fixed stations are entered and tabulated into the SF section. Stations qualifying for the LP section are also entered and tabulated into the LP section.

The overall results are shown in the accompanying tables.

In the SF section, the John Pilags Memorial Trophy is awarded to Roger, G3MEH for the second year running. Once again Roger entered all 9 contests during the year, winning 3 of the events.  In second place this year is Bob, G8HGN who entered 8 events.

The Low Power Championship Trophy is awarded, for the 4th year running, to Richard G4HGI. Richard entered 7 of the 9 events, managing to win 5 of them, one more than last year, giving him 6811 points overall. Richard also managed 3rd place in the SF section. There was a close battle for 2nd spot during the year between last year’s runner-up, David G8LZE and Graham G3YJR.  Graham eventually took 2nd place overall, after scoring a maximum 1000 points in the last event.

For the 5th year in a row the Racal Radio Cup is awarded to the Five Bells Group, winners in the Open section. With such excellent scores and commitment throughout the year, who will ever beat them? Maybe the Blacksheep CG, who are once again in 2nd but the scores are much closer this year.

Certificates are awarded to winners and runners-up of each section. Additionally, Certificates are awarded to the leading Foundation and Intermediate licensees. All these are shown with appropriate icons.
