v4.193 by G4CLA

GR2HQ Challenge 2026

Fifty stations entered the third running of the GR2HQ challenge to run alongside the IARU HF Championship. Reflecting the declining solar cycle only two managed to achieve the top award of a platinum certificate so well done to both.

Twenty two clubs participated this year with Cray Valley RS fielding thirteen members to lead the team competition with 53 points.

Congratulations to all award winners.
