Thunder and lightning, statically changed rain and low temperatures made this contest a real endurance test rather than a pleasant afternoon’s activity.
Occasional sporadic E propagation enabled most of the entrants to work some DX but generally band conditions were very flat and activity was also low
Congratulations to the One Man and His Dog Contest Group (G8NWM/P) for winning the 10W multi-operator section.
Congratulations to Dan Esdale and his team operating as G0RMX/P for winning the 3W multi-operator section. The West Kent Amateur Radio Society (G1WKS/P) were runners-up in this section
