4th 80m CC Datamodes Contest 21st May 2025

The fourth 80m Datamodes CC event attracted 134 entries. Whilst conditions were generally favourable inevitably they didn't suit all.

I say this every time but it falls on deaf ears. Once again stations are overdriving the audio stages, or forgetting to turn off the compressor. This only loses QSOs not gains them, and makes it difficult for others. Please clean up your act and reduce your audio gain, all will benefit. Overdriving your audio stage especially in PSK serves no benefit for either party to a QSO and only results in frustration.

So to the results, Clubs first where we see Norfolk ARC in the Local section, with a virtually unassailable lead. The real fight for 2nd place between Bristol CG and Newbury & DARS in third. In the General section Three As continue to open the gap with De Montfort University ARC holding second place with the Radio Officers Association quite a way off in third spot.

In the individual results wins were recorded for:-

M4N (G4IZZ) in the 100W-A Section

G4ZFE in the 10W-A Section

M7W (G3TBK) in the 100W-U Section

G4PIQ in the 10W-U section.

Well done to all stations.

Until we RY again on the 2nd June, good DX, and take the time to tweak those audio settings.
