3rd 144MHz Backpackers contest of 1997
This Backpackers contest coincided with VHF NFD. A few stations commented on the high level
of QRM from the high power VHF NFD stations. Most stations found the weather fine and sunny
with variable radio conditions. Deep QSB was noted by one or two stations. There were
certainly more continental stations worked during this session compared with the previous
two
sessions.
Congratulations to MW1BCG/P for winning the 10W multi-operator section, to the Cleddau ARS,
GW0SYG/P for winning the 3W multi-operator section, to GW8ZRE/P for winning the 10W single
operator section and finally to G8NSZ/P for winning the 3W single operator section.
Congratulations also to the runner-up in each section.
