    RSGB Jubilee Contest - June 2002.

    THAT SUPPORT FOR this event from the rarer areas of the Commonwealth was somewhat lacking, despite a concentrated publicity campaign, is incontrovertible. That the event coincided with probably the worst spell of propagation conditions for years is undeniable. That participation was eroded by the World Cup football matches held over the same weekend is highly likely. Yet, despite all this, support far exceeded expectations. More than 550 logs were received. Of these, 96 were from the UK and 52 from the remainder of the Commonwealth. Inall, 51 countries and 24 Commonwealth Call Areas, in every continent of the world including Antarctica, are represented in the list of entrants and many others appear regularly in the logs. It was a great pleasure to receive entries from three holders of Foundation Licences who were prepared to have a go and mix it with the crowd. It was an equal disappointment to discover during checking that there were Intermediate class licensees on and active during the contest but who did not submit entries. making his SDJ logging software freely available to all. Comments accompanying logs showed how much it was appreciated. Thanks also to Ray Goff, G4FON, for his excellent LogMangler formatconversion software which proved invaluable during checking. Nearly 80% of the logs were received by e-mail, and thanks are due to Richard Everitt, G4ZFE, for his assistance in processing and distributing the raw files.
    Nearly 200 logs were SDJ-produced and required minimal additional work before adjudication. Of the rest, 121 were submitted on paper and had to be typed into the computer for checking - with some of them containing over 500 QSOs, this was the most onerous task and it took several weeks to complete. The remainder was a glorious mixture of ADIF, BIN and Cabrillo files, together with text files from almost every logging program known to mankind. There were even a few Word documents and a couple of spreadsheets. Those that could not
    be ‘mangled’ were converted to RSGB standard using a column editor. Every log was checked for arithmetic errors and to ensure that multipliers and points had been claimed correctly. A surprising number of errors was found at this stage. A few were due to a problem in an early version of SDJ that wrongly computed the total score, but most were due to incorrect identification of Commonwealth Call Areas. Many entrants will find their final score substantially greater than the figure they first claimed. The only major problem encountered
    was that hundreds (literally) of entrants did not specify whether their log was Unassisted or Assisted. There were so many involved that it was impracticable to return them for correction and the decision was made to include all such entries in the Assisted category.


    Winners.

    THE WINNER OF the Jubilee Trophy is Don Beattie, G3BJ, who competed from home using his FT-1000MP MkV and VL-1000 solid-state linear into a 10-element Yagi at 75ft, 87ft vertical and dipoles. Don operated mixed modes to amass the seventhbest overall score, ‘pipping’ the SSB-only entry from GS2MP, operated by Chris Tran, GM3WOJ, by the narrowest of margins.
    Both logs were superbly accurate and had to be rechecked - in the end it all came down to three extra multipliers. The overall points leader was the Bristol Contest Group station, GQ6YB, operated by G3XSV, G3TKF, G0WKW, G4FKA, G7ORR, M0AXF / EI3JE, G0HFX and M0XXX. They left little to
    chance, as their equipment line-up demonstrates: 2 x FT-1000, TL-922 and triband beams at 110ft, 70ft and 40ft with 80m delta loop apex at 90ft, 80m dipole at 60ft, 40m delta loop apex at 60ft
    and 40m dipole at 50ft. The overall runner-up and leading single-operator entry was John Sluymer, VE3EJ, operating as XM3EJ. Despite making substantially fewer QSOs than some stations placed below him, he managed to find more multipliers than anyone else. Unfortunately, John did not include details of his station. The last ‘podium’ position was filled by Vladimir Krylov, 9H1ZA,
    whose station comprised an IC-756 with a 400W amplifier, a log periodic for the HF bands, a vertical on 40m and a dipole on 80m. Vladimir’s log was also particularly accurate and was the
    leading CW-only entry. The highest-placed Unassisted entry and ranked fifth overall was P3F, operated by Bob Henderson, 5B4AGN. Bob used an FT-1000MP MkV Field and amplifier at 400W with an impressive array of antennas: a Force 12 C31XR at 25m, a Cushcraft XM240 at 27m and an 80m dipole at 20m above ground. The battle for the honours in the Rest of the World section resolved itself into a two-horse race, with the leaders so far ahead of the field as to be in no danger of being caught. At the finish it was LY9A, the Kaunus University club station operated by LY3BA, by the shortest of short heads from LY4AA, also from  Kaunus. Leading the following pack was the Latvian Contest Club station YL0A, operated by YL2KA. The RSGB HF Contests Committee extends its thanks to all those who participated in this event and helped to make our celebration of the Golden Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II a success.

    Soapbox.

    5B4AGX: Enjoyed the contest despite condx and lack of multipliers.
    Perhaps a phone BERU is worth a regular event.

    9H4JB: I worked for 18 hours straight, 20 min calling and 20 min
    scanning for other calls.

    CQ1CV: If you repeat this contest in the future, you can bet the USA
    will be filing for Commonwealth membership.

    G3VCQ: First ever contest. Great fun, might just have to do another!

    G4IRN: Roll on the next Jubilee!

    GM4SID: I thoroughly enjoyed this contest and hope it will become
    an annual event.

    G0AJH: Nice to have another SSB contest - please make it permanent.

    G0DVJ: ‘GQ’ prefix made it busy. Good fun!

    G0ORH: Great to be able to work non-Commonwealth stations
    during the event. Can we have this format for BERU please?

    G3PSM: Pretty appalling conditions with 10m only opening slightly
    in the evening. Noticeable lack of Commonwealth stations.

    G3TXF: It felt as if two separate contests were running in parallel:
    one was a work-the-world free-for-all, like WPX CW, and the other
    was a poorly supported version of BERU.

    G4IIY: I prefer it to the Commonwealth contest.

    G4TSH: Once is enough!

    G6YB: Overall a fantastic event, well worth running again in some
    form.

    JF2SKV: I enjoyed the contest and QSOs with excellent operators.
    Thanks!

    VE3EJ Ants

    Just part of the antenna farm of John, VE3EJ, in Ontario, who operated as XM3EJ to take first place in the Commonwealth Single-Operator Assisted Mixed Mode section with 1676 QSOs.

    M3AEU: My first ever HF operation from home - I think I’ve got the
    bug!

    P3F: A thoroughly enjoyable event despite an S9+ noise level on
    Sunday from an arcing 11kV insulator only 200m from the shack.

    P43JB: Poor conditions, nice contest.

    PA3BFH: Difficult to get G stations on higher bands.

    SM7BJW: Had much fun working this contest but had hoped to hear
    more stations outside UK.

    VE7JKZ: It’s a pity the propagation was so poor. I don’t expect to be
    around for the next one!

    VK2AYD: The cockatoos ate the feed wire on my beam so had to put
    up temp dipoles! We also had our annual Queen’s Birthday Field
    Day on the Sunday so lost lots of operating time.

    VK2EL: Worst band conditions for years in this part of the world. Not
    the fault of the organisers!

    VK5GN/M: Sorry not able to get on from home. I was visiting the
    Coonawarra Wine Region to stock up my cellar!

    VK8AV: Enjoyed the Contest! I was surprised at the number of non-
    Commonwealth stations participating!

    ZB2/G3SQX: Hard to work EU stations (wrong side of Rock). Not too
    many other Commonwealth stations, unfortunately.
