RSGB Contest Results 2nd 1.8MHz Contest 2017   
v4.158 by G4CLA

The 2nd 1.8MHz Contest in 2017 saw 91 logs submitted as entries and 16 check-logs received. This is similar in overall numbers to 2016 and a step up from the 1st 1.8MHz contest earlier this year, however there was a 58% increase in UK Assisted entries and a 9.6% increase in UK Unassisted entries.

There was plenty of DX to be worked, even with relatively modest antennas. Participation from UK&CD stations was higher this time than in 2016 and also than in the 1st contest. The overlap with the REF and Austrian contests continue to add lots of QSOs to the pool and appear to interoperate well.

The Victor Desmond Trophy is awarded to the leading station in the UK (Unassisted or Assisted section). This year G4BWP is the recipient. In the UK Unassisted section G4FNL takes the lead. The Non-UK Assisted section winner is 8S0DX with EI5DI leading in the Non-UK Unassisted Section.
