RSGB Contest Results MGM contest 2026

v4.186 by G4CLA

MGM 2026

The number of entrants was similar to last year. The Sporadic-E on 6m and 2m rewarded entrants with some excellent DX. Virtually every UK&CD station was able to work stations located in Europe and beyond. There were not that many meteors reported and most QSO's were via FT8. I do wonder why in a digital contest there were a more than a few 'Broken Locator' UBN's.

The best DX on 6m for a UK station was G8SEI into China (6,687km), for our european entrants, YO2NAA worked Australia (12,548km).

On 2m, the overall best DX was the QSO between G8HGN and CT9ACF (2,569km). The next best DX was the QSO between MM0CEZ and IC8TEM (2,219km).

The 'Bill Somerville G4WJS Trophy' is awarded to Jeff G8SEI from the Parallel Lines Contest Group as the Overall Winner of the UK&CD Open Section (UKO) for the 2nd year running.
