Twenty stations competed for honours in the 4m cumulative contest this year. As usual, conditions were extremely variable across the sessions with deep QSB. Many entrants in the south of the UK reported high local noise levels.
The majority of the logs were received via email. Maybe next year all logs will be submitted this way?
The standard of logging was very variable. In most sessions, at least three stations managed to submit perfect logs - but it was not the same three stations in each session. There was no one main cause for the loss of points. Call signs, signal reports, serial numbers, locators and QTH errors all caused loss of points in nearly equal proportions.
A few logs arrived after the closing date for this series of contests (16 days after the date of the last session). Please try to submit your logs on time so that the results can be produced quickly. All of the late logs have been included in the results on this occasion.
In the Single Operator Fixed Station section, Robert Ferguson, GD4GNH once again established a dominant position by winning every session bar one. Bill Capstick, G3JYP, claimed the runners-up spot in this section.
The Flight Refuelling Amateur Radio Society, G4RFR, were the winners in the Others section with Ross Wilkinson, G6GVI/M, as the runner-up.
Finally, the 25W/Single Antenna award goes to Bob Offer, G1ZJP operating as M1MHZ.
Thank you to G3MEH for his very useful check log.
