Entries for this contest were up this year, although scores were generally
the same or slightly down, however some entrants, notably G1ZJP, G3MEH and G8HGN
did manage to improve their score. Once again the Northern Lights head the multi-operator
section from the Isle of Man. Bryn G4DEZ takes over from an absent 'PIQ this
year to take honours in the single-op section.
The geographical spread of entries is very much biased to the east of the UK,
with only 4 entries from the IO80 and 1 from the IO70 locator lines, yet the
highest score came from the most westerly station.
In the AFS section the Colchester RA have made a surge up the table to top spot this year, just beating Chesham & DARS into second place. It's the breadth of good scores across the whole team that counts in the overall results, although the Five Bells group managed a very creditable third place with only three members in their team.
Congratulations to all winners and runners-up and to John G4ZTR, as the highest placed 25w station.
Pete Lindsay, G4CLA

GB3ANG beacon heard quite clearly, but no contest stations from the far North. Sad that there were so few stations on in the South West - I'm glad that I made the effort to go out. G8ZRE Really hard going poor conditions heard GM4PPT lost in QSB.3 hours in the afternoon even worse. Not much activity in my own square IO83. G3YSX Just went on to give some points away G3YNN Heavy QSB and a lot of QRM but some good DX worked. M5FUN Heavy QSB and a lot of QRM but a really good contest. G4SIV Generally rather poor, but some welcome breaks in the "ether" when occasional DX popped up. G4NPH Main handicap other than TVI / RFI at the pub next door and part time entry through family commitments was having no rotatable array. Single antenna fixed SSE!! G8VYK Conditions in the morning were quite flat, in the afternoon there was a good opening to the East. G3JJZ Just as last year, very slow at times could have had a lot more activity. Looking back on past years, there seemed to be a lot of "missing calls" this year. By 4pm I was so fed up, I got the XYL to have a bash!! Hence the 'BRV log.
