50MHz Backpackers Championship of 2007



Only twelve stations submitted entries for the 50MHz Backpackers Championship this year with only six stations submitting an entry for the 2nd 50MHz Backpackers contest.

Congratulations to Ashley Edwards, M0BAO/P for winning the 50MHz Backpackers Trophy for 2007. Clive Warren, M0VCF/P was the runner-up.

Steve Hartley, F/G0FUW/P, receives the Leading Overseas station certificate.

The 50MHz Backpacker contests have been attracting very few entrants for several years. The Contest Committee have decided, in view of the congestion in the contest calendar, that the 50MHz Backpackers contests in their current format will not be run in 2008.

In their place, a 10W, Single Operator `Backpackers' section has been added to the June 50MHz Trophy Contest starting at 1000 GMT and finishing at 1400 GMT (i.e. the last 4 hours of the Trophy Contest). All Backpacker rules (mast height, structure, power source etc) will apply to the new section. The leading station in this section will be awarded the 50MHz Backpackers Trophy.

Ian, G0FCT
