In contrast to the 70cms event, most competitors complained about the lack of activity from the UK. This was only offset by some Sporadic E in East Anglia and tropo into the middle of France by the lucky ones in the south of the country. The Victory CG showed how good their site is for low power contests and have to be congratulated for putting out an exceptional signal and taking top honours once again with a convincing margin. Wythall CG had a mini contest all of their own and several operators took advantage of poor activity to use their own callsigns and in effect start the contest all over again. This gave the group a chance to hone their operating skills, whilst still maintaining some interest when things got quiet. Entry levels are still very good and the VHFCC is looking forward to the first novice entry in this event. As usual certificates go to all winners and runners-up, plus one to our friend PE1EWR, who once again takes the overseas section.
