HF Championship 2020

In last year's write up, I was able to report a 15% increase in the number of callsigns appearing in the table from the previous year, and the highest total ever (429).  At that time, of course, Covid-19 had not been invented and little could we have predicted the further 16% increase this year to 496.

Once again, the top of the table contains many familiar callsigns with eight of the top ten also appearing in last year's top ten, albeit mostly in different places  Congratulations go to Dave, G3TBK who came out the comfortable winner, having entered all 11 events. Dave thus retains the G2QT Cup which he won for the first time last year.

Nick, G4FAL took the runner up spot with entries to 10 events and Allan, GM4ZUK was only 100 points behind in third place. To illustrate how competitive this contest is, Dave scored an average of 895 points per contest entered, Nick 875 and Allan 865 and, perhaps not surprisingly, half of the top-ten stations entered every event.

The first qualifying event in 2021 is the AFS 80m-40m CW contest on Saturday 2nd January,  hardly time to recover from the socially-distanced New Year celebrations but not one to miss if you wish to improve your standing in the table next year.

With every good wish for the holiday season.

73 and stay safe!
