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.

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!
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. |
