144MHz Low Power 1997 Unfortunately the number of entries were down on last year, but the event still attracts a healthy number of competitors. Once again band conditions had a major effect on the result, with those on the east coasts taking advantage of ducting into the near continent. The A1 CG made good use of this fact and even made contacts into PD0 on FM - a move other competitors should think about. In the end it was a two way contest between GM4ZAP/P (A1 CG) and G4SIV/P (Five Bells Group) with the former coming out on top due to their superior multiplier tally. The rest of the positions were quite closely fought, with those paying more attention to chasing multipliers usually coming good. A special mention to the Ipswich RC who come leaping up the tables this year, to G4PIQ who would have been third overall and to G8FBG for winning his section. There were no SWL entries this year which is disappointing and hopefully this increasing trend will be reversed next year.
