RSGB Contest Results 2024

v4.158 by G4CLA

SHF UKAC November 2024

Conditions and activity for the final session were poor, with challenging weather for the few portable entrants.

The overall picture for 2024 has been a reduction in entrants to 70 from 84 in 2023 across all bands (-17%), with 2.3GHz showing the same overall reduction, but with 25% fewer entries on 3.4GHz, 43% on 5.7GHz and 34% less on 10GHz. Anecdotally the weather may have been worse this year which deterred some portable stations, but other causes may include the general 'greying' of the UK amateur population. With all our microwave bands it is use or lose, with spectrum in great demand for mobile phones and local area networks, so please redouble your efforts to get on in 2025!

Congratulations go to the winners and runners up listed below.

The first SHF UKAC in 2025 is scheduled for the 28th January.
