The band conditions for the forth 144MHz Backpackers contest were poor with little DX around. Slow QSB also made operating difficult. At least the weather was nice with hot sunshine and light winds.
Congratulations to Dave Hewitt, GW8ZRE/P for winning the 10W Single Operator section. Congratulations to Neill Taylor, G4HLX/P for winning the 3W Single Operator section. The 10W multi-operator section was won by M0AFC/P. The 3W multi-operator section was won by G0HDV/P. Congratulations to both multi-operator section winners. All winners and runners-up will receive certificates. Thanks to G3MEH and PE1EWR for their very useful check logs.
Ian, G0FCT
