50MHz Trophy Contest 2004

Conditions in this contest were far from ideal with only short sporadic-E openings on the Saturday and even less propagation on the Sunday. Consequently entrants achieved much lower QSO and multiplier totals compared to the excellent conditions from the previous year.

Congratulations to the Northern Lights for their convincing win in the Multi Operator section, they retain the Telford Trophy and Bryn, G4DEZ retains the Six Meter Cup for his victory in the Single Operator Fixed section.

The winners of both six hour sections benefited from the better conditions on Saturday, congratulations to Dave G1KHX/P who wins the Six Hour Other section and Geoff MM5AHO who wins the Six Hour Single Operator section.

Matthew Jeffery, M0MAT
