70MHz UK Activity Contest 2004

 

Following requests a 70MHz UK Activity Contest was added to the VHF contest calendar for 2004, held on the fifth Tuesday in those months which have one, and was reasonably well supported. Conditions were nothing special for any of the four sessions, with leading stations’ best DX at around 400km.

 

The Single Operator Fixed section was won by Roger Piper, G3MEH, with Bryn Llewellyn, G4DEZ as runner-up, and Bob Offer using his wife’s callsign, M1MHZ, the leading entrant using no more than 25W to a single antenna. The Open section was won by Ron Price, GW4EVX/P, with the University of Bristol club station, G3KAC, operated by Ross Wilkinson, G6GVI, and Steve Turner, M0RNA, in second place. Congratulations to all certificate winners. Adjudication was independently checked by another member of the VHFCC, in accordance with standard procedure when a contest is won by its adjudicator.
