Although this contest never attracts a vast number of entries, activity levels are quite consistent, and for the patient, there is some great DX to be worked. Nearly half the field had their best DX over 800km, although conditions this year were very average.
Congratulations to Dave Edwards, G7RAU & John Lemay, G4ZTR for their commanding leads in the Single Operator Fixed Station sections, to the Windmill CG, G0FBB for a great 6 hour multi op score, and to Steven Bunting, M0BPQ/P for braving the elements for a full 24 hour session. Steven heard a lot more DX than he could work with his low power and threatens to take the generator with him next time! The runner-up position in the 6 hour fixed section was very closely contested, but GM4AFF came out on top with a zero error log, finishing above others with higher claimed scores – well done Stewart
