21/28 MHz CW, October 2003

The 2003 contest saw some attrocious conditions – a pity considering the SSB event had just enjoyed better propagation, as did the CQ WW SSB contest just afterwards. The Worked All Germany contest coincided again this year and caused additional problems for some entrants.

As a result entries and scores are much reduced on the previous few years. The section leaders faced a very hard slog and are to be congratulated for not giving up, and maximising every possible chance for QSOs and multipliers.

Jan G0IVZ repeats his win in the Open section, although this score is less than 25% of last year’s result. Alan 5B4AHJ takes top Overseas honours, largely due to finding some propagation on 28 MHz. Congratulations also to the other section winners.

Lee Volante, G0MTN

SP6LV, SQ9MZ, RZ3OV, and VE3VHB are thanked for their useful checklogs.
