This popular series of contests attracted good levels of activity in most sessions. For most entrants the 2nd, 3rd and 5th sessions had better conditions than the 1st and 4th sessions.
Robert Ferguson, GD4GNH established a dominant position in the single operator fixed station section, winning every session. Second place was closely contested between Pat Moore, G3IKR and Stewart Cooper, GM4AFF. Stewart realised just before the last session that he had an antenna problem. He fixed it and in his words 'and suddenly started hearing things'. Fourth and fifth places were equally closely contested between David Gilligan, G1OGY and John Hall, G0ODQ.
In the All Others section, Flight Refuelling Amateur Radio Society, G4RFR once again returned to their winning ways. The runner-up in this section, Ross Wilkinson, G0WJM/M managed to activate a different site in each session this year.
The winners and runners-up in each section will receive certificates.
