2nd 50MHz Backpackers contest of 2002

Only seven stations ventured out for this contest. The band conditions were flat with no Sporadic E and there was little activity and virtually no DX. At least the sun was shining! Even so, Dave, GW8ZRE/P, remarked that he actually worked more stations in this contest than in the 1st 50MHz Backpackers contest.

Congratulations to Dave Hewitt, GW8ZRE/P, for winning the 10W Single Operator section, to the West Kent ARS, G1WKS/P, for winning the 3W Single Operator section and finally to Tim Boon, M0AFC/P, for winning the 10W Multi-operator section.

Ian, G0FCT
