SPRING 50MHz CONTEST - 10/4/2022

43 entries (five section AL, thirteen section AO and 25 section AR plus two checklogs) were received for the 2022 Spring 50MHz Contest (the rebadged First 50MHz Contest) This was 31 (42%) down on the 2021 entry - perhaps due to the easing of lockdown meaning that potential entrants had alternative attractions on the day! A total of 105 valid callsigns appear in the logs, from 27 big squares (19 UK&CD and eight outside) in eleven DXCC entities (DL, EI, F, G, GI, GM, GW, HA, HB9, OZ, & SP). The best DX was between G4RRA (IO80) and HA2NP (JN97) at 1744km - one of three QSOs at over 1000km, all of which were with HA2NP. The best DX below 1000km was between G1KAR/P (JO00) and GI4SNA (IO64) at 601km.

Relatively few comments were received from entrants, and those were largely downbeat. With one exception (which described them as 'good & stable'), conditions were found to be poor (but possibly improving towards the end). Signals were reported as weak with 10W stations finding it hard going and no sporadic E was evident. QSB, sometimes deep, was reported as was a high noise level.
