2nd 144MHz Backpackers Contest of 2006

2^nd 144MHz Backpackers Contest of 2006

The thirty-three contestants were almost universally greeted with sunny weather for this contest - a nice change from the 1^st Backpackers contest! Once again, band conditions were mixed with generally only the leading stations able to work continental DX.

In the 10W Multi-operator section, the Verulam ARC, M0TMR/P was the winner.

The 3W Multi-operator section was won by the Malvern Hill "B" team, GW4IDF/P with the Wigan-Valley Douglas ARS, G3BPK/P, in second place.

The 10W Single Operator section was won by Geoff Morris, GW3ATZ/P with Mike Chapman, GM4IGS/P in second place.

The 3W Single Operator section was won by Dave Hewitt, GW8ZRE/P with Charlie Jordan, GW0PZO/P as the runner-up.

The leading Intermediate Station certificate was won by Dave Cutts, 2E0EBV/P.

Thank you to G3MEH, G4OIG/P, G4HHJ, M3LQA and F/PE7B/P for supplying very useful check logs.

Ian, G0FCT
