2019 144 MHz UKAC - Review of the year

This series of contests continues to be popular with an average number of entrants per session of 256 (270 in 2018, 269 in 2017). There were at least 230 entrants in every session this year and entries peaked at 299 in the April session.

The number of locator squares active in each session varied between 52 (in January) and 70 (in July). The number of stations active in each session varied between 440 (in January) and 587 (in July). In total, 123,419 QSOs (129,250 in 2018) were made during the 2019 144 MHz UKAC.

The General Club Category was dominated for the third year running by the 807 ARO who topped the table in all twelve sessions. For the second year running, Drowned Rats RG were in second place with Harwell ARS in third place. 70 Affiliated Societies (79 in 2018) competed in the General Club Category.

The top spot in the Local Club Category was claimed for the second year running by Hereford ARS who won ten of the twelve sessions. Second place was claimed Worksop ARS, up from third place in 2018. Tall Trees CG claimed third place, up from fifth place in 2018. Thirty-four Affiliated Societies (32 in 2018) competed in the Local Club Category.

The AO (400 Watt, unlimited antenna) section was dominated by Pete G4CLA who won all nine of the sessions he entered. Competition for the minor places was intense and produced a battle between three stations, GD8EXI (sometimes operating as GM8EXI/M), GM3SEK and G4ASR. All of these stations scored more than 7000 (out of 8000) points. After the final session in December, Richard GD8EXI emerged in second place with Ian GM3SEK in third place and David G4ASR in fourth. For the second year running, the leading Intermediate Licensee was David 2E0UDB. The leading non-UK Station for the third year running was Conrad PA5Y, having entered all twelve session. 94 stations entered the AO section, the same number as in 2018.

The AR (100 Watt, single antenna) section witnessed a very close battle between G4FZN/P (sometimes operating from France as F/G4FZN/P), G3XDY, G4RUL (sometime operating portable) and G8PNN/P. All of these stations managed to score more than 7800 points (out of 8000). To achieve success in the UKAC, consistently high performance is required in at least eight of the twelve sessions and G4FZN/P (operated by Chris G4FZN and Pauline G8HQW) produced this year's winning performance for amassing 7961 points, beating the UK runner-up John G3XDY by 85 points. Alastair G4RUL was in fourth place (third in the UK) with a score of 7868, only eight points behind G3XDY. Gordon G8PNN/P was fifth (fourth in the UK), only 66 points behind G4RUL. Pete 2E0NEY was the leading Intermediate Station in this section and is the winner of the Intermediate Shield by being the highest scoring Intermediate Station who is a member of the RSGB. The leading Non-UK Station was Jacques F1BHL/P. 337 stations entered the AR section, twenty less than in 2018.

In the AL (10 Watt, single antenna) section, three stations scored more than 7,800 points (out of 8,000): G1YBB/P, G0EAK/P and G8DMU/P. The winner was Steven G1YBB who won all eleven sessions he entered scoring the maximum possible total of 8000 points. In second place was Steve G0EAK/P with 7845 points, 64 points ahead of Tony G8DMU/P in third place. John 2E0DXK (sometimes portable) was the leading Intermediate Station with 7656 points. Mary M6KMB was the Leading Foundation Station with 6730 points. The winner of the Foundation Shield is Andrew M6VUK

by being the highest placed Foundation Station who is a member of the RSGB. 203 stations entered the AL section.

A certificate is also awarded for the station who provides the most stations with their best DX on each band in the UKAC across the year. The winner of the Best DX certificate on 144MHz this year is PA5Y who provided 327 stations with their best DX in the 144MHz UKAC. In second place was GM4AFF who provide 185 stations with their best DX and in third place was F1BHL/P who provided 179 stations with their best DX.
