SHF UKAC Contest of 2004

This contest is run over 12 monthly sessions on 23cm and 13cm. In total, 12 stations (3 multi-operator and/or portable stations) completed for the top spot this year. A few sessions yielded excellent DX.

A few complaints were received during the year concerning the use of Internet chat rooms and the DX Cluster to set-up contacts and to pass or confirm reports, serial numbers and locators. Competitors are reminded that the General Rules for VHF Contests prohibits the passing of all such information via chat rooms or the DX Cluster. Also prohibited is persistent self-spotting by the entrant or any close associate in chat rooms or on the DX Cluster.

This year, the clear winner of the Single Operator section on 23cm and 13 cm is John Quarmby, G3XDY, who managed to score 6000 points on both bands. The runner-up in the Single Operator section, again on both bands, is Neil Whiting, G4BRK.

In the Open section, the winners on both 23cm and 13cm were the South Birmingham Radio Society, G8OHM. The runner-up on 23cm in the Open section was the single operator portable station of Steve Bunting, M0BPQ.

The Leading 25W/Single Antenna award on 23cm goes to Graham Coyne, G3YJR.

The Leading Overseas Station award on 23cm and 13cm and the Leading 25W/Single Antenna award on 13cm goes to Frank Laanen, PE1EWR.
