The temporary rules restricting portable operation had a considerable effect on this contest, where the proportion of portable stations is usually very high. The Five Bells Group still managed to top the multi-op section from their fixed location. But it was GD4GNH operating GD0EMG representing the Northern Lights who takes the trophy this year. There was some reasonable Es propagation during the day with S51DI making 12 QSO's giving him the second highest number of points before applying the multipliers.
