Deep QSB and generally poor band conditions greeted entrants of this contest. A few stations managed to break the 1000km barrier but this was the exception rather than the rule.
The general accuracy of logging was poor with more than half of the entrants loosing more than 10% of their claimed score. Three entrants lost more than 20% of their score. The majority of the points were lost due to errors in the received RST and Locator.
Congratulations to the G4TSW Radio Club for winning the Multi-operator section. The runners-up were the Hadley Wood Contest Group operating as G4STV/P.
In the Single Operator fixed station section, congratulations to Keith Tatnall (G4ODA) of the Five Bells Contest Group for winning this section by a wide margin. Roger Piper was the runner-up.
The only entrant in the Single Operator Portable section was Dave Hewitt, GW8ZRE/P who naturally receives the winners certificate.
Finally, congratulations to John Cockrill, G4CZB, who wins the 25W / single antenna certificate.
Ian, G0FCT
