It was a very closely fought contest in the single operator sections on 23cm and 13cm this year. On 23cm, G3XDY, G4BRK and GD4GNH each managed to win one or more of the sessions. This created a very close finish with G3XDY eventually emerging triumphant. On 13cm, G4BRK, G3MEH and G3XDY engaged in an interesting tussle. Neil, G4BRK, managed to win two of the sessions and was placed a very close second in a third session. In the end, this was the deciding factor
As usual on these bands the standard of logging was very high with very few points being lost.
Congratulations to John Quarmby, G3XDY, for winning the 23cm Single Operator section and to the South Birmingham Radio Society, G8OHM/P, for winning the 23cm 'All Others' section. On 13cm, congratulations to Neil Whiting, G4BRK, for winning the Single Operator section and to the Villa Contest Group, G6SPS/P, for winning the 'All Others' section. Frank Laanen, PE1EWR, receives the Overseas entrant certificate for both 23cm and 13cm. Finally, Martin Broadway, G4GFI, wins the 25W Single Antenna certificate for his entry on 23cm.
