A total of fifty-nine stations (four more than in 2003) competed for the 144MHz Backpackers Championship this year. At the top of the table, two stations (GW4IDF/P and GW8ZRE/P) ended up with the maximum score of 3000 points for their three best sessions.
As stated in the rules of this championship, in the event of a tie for first or second place, the scores for the fourth and if necessary the fifth session are taken into account to determine the overall winner. After taking the scores for the fourth session into account a clear winner and runner-up emerged.
Congratulations to Dave Hewitt, G8ZRE for winning the 144MHz Backpackers Championship. The Malvern Hills ‘B’ team of Dave Hobro (G4IDF) and Dan Esdale (G0RMX) operating as GW4IDF/P were the runners-up.
This year, Clive Warren, M3OTF/P, receives the Foundation License certificate.
Thank you to all of the stations that took part in this year’s Backpacker contests.
Ian, G0FCT
