144MHz Backpackers Championship of 2007

Fifty-two stations competed for the 144MHz Backpackers Championship this year, two more than last year.

The competition for the top places has been fierce. Four stations amassed the maximum score of 3000 points. As defined in the Backpacker rules, if more than one station gains 3000 points, the points scored by those stations in the fourth (and if necessary the fifth) Backpacker sessions are used to determine the overall winner and runner-up.

Congratulations to Tim Raven, G4ARI/P, for winning the 144MHz Backpackers Championship for 2007. The Oldham Radio Club, G1ORC/P, was the runner-up.

This year, Fred Smith, 2E0TLB/P, receives the Leading Intermediate Station certificate.

Finally, thank you to all of the stations that took part in this year's Backpacker contests.

Ian, G0FCT
