The first year of these contests brought varied band conditions and activity levels from one session to the next. There were months with some reasonable DX and others where stations struggled to work QSOs of a couple of hundred kilometres.
Congratulations to Neil G4BRK for taking the top spot in the Single Operator Fixed sections on both bands and to the South Birmingham Radio Society G8OHM, for taking the top spot in the Open sections on both bands. Congratulations also to everyone who takes part in these events and help make the microwave bands a relatively active place on the third Tuesday evening of each month. A particular mention to Steve M0BPQ who got QRV on 23cms and made his first contact on the band specifically for these contests, very much in the spirit of the event.
