In the fifth year of the Local Club Category section, members of 22 Affiliated Societies submitted their scores for this table (18 in 2022, 22 in 2021, 28 in 2020, 18 in 2019).

Congratulations to the entrants and Affiliated Societies listed below who all receive certificates for their efforts.

For 2024, the sections in the FM Activity Contests are being changed to be licence class based. So there will be a section for Foundation licensees (10W power limit), a section for Intermediate licensees (50W power limit) and an Open section for everyone else (50W power limit). The recommendation to use vertical polarisation has also been removed. Please read the 2024 rules when they become available on the RSGBCC website.

The first 144MHz FMAC session for 2024 starts at 1900 local time on Tuesday January 2nd.
