1st 1.8 MHz Contest 2021

This year's contest attracted a record 136 entries plus 5 checklogs (92 last year) evenly divided between domestic and overseas stations. 21 DXCCs were represented in the non-UK sections, including logs from Japan and Canada. In addition, callsigns from Australia and North America were the highlights in the list of 233 other stations (including 96 from the Netherlands) that appeared in the logs.

The standard of logging was generally high and there were very few unique QSOs claimed, making adjudication fairly straightforward.

It was all change at the top of all of the tables and, in the UK & CD sections, five of the six podium places were taken by stations using special contest calls, evidence perhaps that, certainly for contests like this one, it is well worth applying for an SCC if you meet the eligibility criteria.

After falling short by the slimmest of margins in 2020, Clive GM3X (GM3POI) made no mistake this year winning the UK Assisted section and also the Somerset Trophy (awarded to the leading UK station in either category). Whilst still very early days, this win puts Clive at the top of the HF Championship table. To complete the Assisted section, Chris, G3SJJ was in second place with last year's winner Dave, M7W (G3TBK) in third.

In the UK Non-assisted category, top spot was claimed Fred, M7Z (G4BWP) with Don, G5W (G3BJ) and Nick M3W (G4FAL) taking the other podium places.

Heiko, DL8QS and Gerard, EI5KF were the leading stations in the Overseas Assisted and Non-assisted categories respectively.

Congratulations to all certificate winners, and thanks to those who submitted check logs.
