Entrants experienced good band conditions with almost continuous sporadic E propagation to southern Europe and beyond during the co-ordinated section of this contest. Unfortunately, thunderstorms were also around towards the end of the session resulting in a rapid exit from site for more than one contestant. The last hour of the Backpackers contest was very quiet for most stations once the stations in the co-ordinated contest had ceased operating.
Congratulations to "Malvern Hills B", G4IDF/P for winning the 3W multi-operator section and to M0AFC/P for winning the 10W multi-operator section. In the Single Operator sections, congratulations go to GI7JYK/P for winning the 3W section and to GW8ZRE/P for winning the 10W section. All section winners and runners-up will receive certificates.
