These are always popular contests and in spite of lousy conditions, the last contests before the dawn of the new millennium were no exception. Gary Hyde, G7LXK easily walked away with the overall Single Operator Fixed Section for the second year running by putting in a performance across all 4 bands, but with particular emphasis on winning 2 of them. G3IKR (using a 30-year-old antenna!), G7RAU and G3NKS all put very strong single band entries together, placing them high in the table, but you need to be on more than one band to win!
The Open section was not well supported, but congratulations to Alex Wilson, 2E1GZY/P for putting in a great performance on 2m. It's really good to see several of the Novice stations taking good advantage of their new allocations and putting in such competitive performances.
Top honours in the 25W and one antenna category go to Ken Punshon, G4APJ which also gave him a particularly impressive second place overaall. That regular Frank Laanen, PE1EWR takes the overseas certificate.
