May 2009 10 GHz Trophy.



The May 10GHz trophy contest suffered from flat conditions and an apparent lack of UK participants, the best DX being worked by GD0EMG at 762Km. 2009 entrants were down from 11 to 8. Congratulations to this year's winner John G3XDY and also G4RFR/P the "Flight Refuelling ARS" who came second.

Graham G4DDN.
