Conditions for these contests during 2004 were not quite as good as during 2003, with Scandinavian stations worked in 4 of the 12 sessions instead of 5 last year and no really strong openings. Nevertheless, activity was pretty good and some good DX was worked.
It was close at the top of the Single Operator Fixed Station section, with Bob Offer, G1ZJP operating as M1MHZ edging out the dedicated 12 session effort of last year’s victor, Bryn Llewellyn, G4DEZ. In the Open sectin, the South Birmingham RS, G8OHM won once again, followed by a great single operator portable effort from Hugh Burnham M0WYE. The 25W, Single Antenna awards go to Dave Hook, M5ADF and Steve Bunting, M0BPQ/P, and the Leading Intermediate Licence Holder & Leading Overseas Station awards to the ever present James Beatwell, 2E1GUA and Frank Laanen, PE1EWR.
Andy Cook, G4PIQ
