    Adjudicator's report.

    85 logs and 2 checklogs were received for the contest this year.  Two paper logs were received from overseas.  All others were electronic logs received via the internet and all within the one month allowed.   13 of the overseas and 35 of the UK electronic logs used SD. 8 used Writelog and 3 used N1MM.

    Many of the entrants commented on very good conditions on the band and this was backed up by more transantlantic contacts than normal.  One log from Eastern Siberia,  One from Ontario and another from a DXpedition station in Algeria were received.   More duplicate QSOs were logged than in previous events, indicating that operators are beginning to realise that it usually takes less time to work and log a 'dupe' than advising the other station that wou have worked before.  Because the cabrillo log format has no provision for indicating duplicate QSOs, it follows that we adjudicators can not apply penalties for 'unmarked dupes'.   More than one entrant logged non-existent Post Codes and lost points which would have been saved had they used the SD software which checks for valid codes on the run.  

    Clive Penna GM3POI won the contest and two trophies.  The Victor Desmond Trophy for leading U.K. entrant and the Maitland Trophy for leading GM entrant over the two 1.8 MHz contests in 2006.  Justin Snow G4TSH/P, operating in the Ipswich Postal Area, came second and Gavin Taylor GM0GAV came third just five points behind Justin.

    The Overseas section winner is Dennis Andrews F5VHY with a creditable error free log. Second was Paul O'Kane EI5DI and third was Stavko Celerc S57DX. 

    Congratulations to the trophy and certificate winners and thanks to them and all other competitors for participating. I hope you enjoyed the contest and that you will take part in future events.
