FIRST 70MHz CONTEST - 4/4/2021

56 entries - the same number as in 2020 - were received for the First 70MHz Contest of 2021 (23 section AO, 25 section AR and 8 section AL, plus two check logs). A total of 165 valid callsigns appear in the logs, from 26 big squares (21 UK&CD and five outside) in 8 DXCC entities. The best DX was between GM4AFF (IO86) and SP9HWY (JO90) 1583km - one of four QSOs at over 1000km, all of which were with SP9HWY. The best DX below 1000km was 581km, between GU6EFB and G4KUX.

Most entrants found conditions middling - 'average' or 'flat' were the most frequently occurring comments, but a few entrants felt they were slightly up, particularly towards the start. Although no sporadic E was reported, aircraft scatter helped with a number of contacts. Activity was found to be quite good, although QSB and noise caused problems for some stations. Quite a number of comments on the return of /P were received - either saying that it was good to be out portable again, or that it was good that there were portables there to work! And as a final bonus, despite one report of gales, several entrants commented on the good weather (thank you, Met. Office...).
