The honour of top slot in the Open section this year passes to the Five Bells Contest Group for the first time. The Northern Lights were second and the Villa Contest Group was third. This year, only the winning group managed to enter all of the contests that make up the Championship.
In the Fixed Station section, G3MEH and G3XDY fought for the honours with G3MEH managing to stay ahead. G0GCI was third. In the QRP section G4HGI emerged as the clear winner with G4APJ in second place. 2E1GUA was placed third.
The result table only lists those stations that entered three or more qualifying contests.
Congratulations to the Five Bells Contest Group for winning the Open section. They will receive the RACAL RADIO CUP for this achievement. Congratulations to Roger Piper, G3MEH, for winning the Single Operator section. He will receive the JOHN PILAGS TROPHY for this achievement. Finally, congratulations to Richard Staples, G4HGI, for winning the Fixed Station QRP section. He will receive LOW POWER VHF CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY. The winners and runners-up will also receive certificates.
