RSGB Contest Results 50MHz Trophy 2024

v4.158 by G4CLA

50MHz Trophy Contest

This contest is always made by the conditions served up by the Es gods. In 2023 the gods decided that Saturday was the day to play radio's so the reverse of 2022. And in 2024 it was as in 2022 and Sunday provided some excellent propagation for most. A measure of the conditions can be gained from the winning scores. G8T in 2023 scored 31 million points and in 2024 60 million. In 2023 G8X scored 25 million points and in 2024 47 million.

The weather wasn't special with high winds and static rain mentioned by a number of stations. A classic June day.

There were 122 entries (112 entries in 2023 and 103 in 2022). The pattern of entries showed some differences with 74 stations choosing 6 hour sections (64 UK stations in 2023 and 73 in 2022). 34 entered the 24 hour sections (37 in 2023 and 23 in 2022).

D4L provided overall contest ODX when G3M worked him at a distance of 4470 km. A few stations were able to work VO and 4X4 at distances over 3000km.

One station was penalised for submitting a log part UTC and part in BST.

Blacksheep Contest and DX Group (G8T) (G8TIC, G0XDI, M0MUX,G7RAU, G4LOH and M0BTZ) win the Open section and retain the Telford Trophy. Tim G8X (G4FJK) retains the Six Metre Cup as the highest scoring single operator entry.

Congratulations to them and also to all the Certificate winners listed below.
