The second 50MHz Backpacker contest was blessed with excellent DX conditions. The conditions were so good that some entrants 'complained' that it was difficult to work any UK stations!
Congratulations to M0AFC/P for winning the 10W Single Operator section and to GW0PZO/P for winning the 3W Single Operator section. Congratulations to the One Man and His Dog Contest Group, G8NWM/P for winning the multi-operator 10W section and finally congratulations to G1WAC/P for winning the multi-operator 3W section.
