70MHz UK ACTIVITY CONTEST - 19/12/19 AND WHOLE YEAR RESULTS

79 entries were received for the December 70MHz UKAC session - the last of the year - (19 section AO, 47 section AR and 13 section AL). This was sixteen down on November. As one might expect from the time of year, the number of portable entrants was down - to nine from fifteen the previous month. A total of 154 valid calls appear in the logs, from 26 big squares and 8 DXCC entities. The best DX was again between G4ASR and SP9HWY in JO90 square at 1546km - one of two contacts at over 1000km.

The most optimistic comments on conditions were 'not too good' and 'average winter', the rest being far less favourable, with 'poor' or 'very poor' being most common, occurring twelve times. Taken together with numerous reports of QSB and noise - endemic in the 4m UKACs - plus windy weather, it is perhaps not surprising that activity was mostly reported as low, with several of the regulars missing and a number of entrants closing down early.

Moving on to the whole year results, the number of entrants varied between 79 (in December) and 129 (in May), an average of 112, two up on the whole year figure for 2018. The number of valid calls appearing in logs varied between 128 and 209, with the minimum and maximum numbers occurring in December and May - the same months as for the corresponding number of entrants. The number of big squares worked varied between 24 and 32, peaking in May - July (broadly corresponding to the sporadic E season) although a little oddly the peak number (32) was also worked in January. The best DX of the year was between G4ASR and OH1DP in KP10 square at 1889km in the May session. G4ASR also worked the best DX in five other sessions.
