2nd 144MHz Backpackers Contest of 2000

Opinions varied about band conditions during this contest. Some stations judged band conditions poor/flat with DX to be worked. The leading stations in each section generally held the opposite view. The number of QSO made by the leading stations certainly shows what can be done with relatively low power to a modest antenna when the station is well sited.

Three stations managed to submit perfect logs for this contest - congratulations! However, some stations managed to lose a large proportion of their claimed score by inaccurate logging. The average points lost were 9.1% for this contest

M0AFC/P wins the Single Operator 3W section with G4ERP/P achieving first place in the 10W section. In the multi-operator sections, G0KYS/P claimed first place in the 10W section with the Oldham Radio Club, G1ORC/P claiming first place in the 3W section
