AFS Super League 2016-17

The top three slots in this composite of RSGB contests were once again fought over by the same clubs as in previous years.  However their positions changed, with Camb-Hams moving into first place, gaining maximum points in five of the six contributing contests, and winning the Hadley Wood Contest Group Trophy.  A second place certificate goes to Bristol Contest Group who were close behind, and the third place certificate was gained by Grimsby ARC.

Pembrokeshire Contest Group, Tall Trees Contest Group, Sheffield & District Wireless Society and Chesham & District Amateur Radio Society were just below in the table - all receiving certificates for finishing in the top three-quarters of scores in the six contributing contests.

Participation levels in the AFS events have been fairly stable since the Super League was expanded to encompass six contests in 2011.  Around 100 different clubs participate in one or more of the contests, so we anticipate that this will continue, and perhaps increase in 2017-18.

The next season's AFS contests begin on the 22nd October with 50 MHz.  Then there is 1.8 MHz in November and 144 MHz in December.  The two 3.5 / 7 MHz contests (CW and SSB) are in January, with 432 MHz in February.  We hope to see everyone again in October.  Good luck!
