October 2007 UHF 432MHz - 248GHz Contest Results

A few stations experienced some tropo on 70 & 23cm although for the majority of entrants, conditions were reported as being poor with generally a lower level of UK activity than has been experienced in the past. This contest gave some entrants the opportunity to experiment with new equipment. There was only one entry on 47 & 76 GHz by South Birmingham RS who experienced higher signals on 76GHz than expected over a 52km path. Unfortunately on 23cm their 400W PA failed during the contest so had to revert to low power operation.

A comment had been received, requesting stations giving their location when calling cq, which on these bands can be very helpful in easing antenna alignment.

Several stations worked distances in excess of 1000km on 70cm. Other notable distances are Lothians RS working 1063km on 23cm & Colchester CG working 672km on 3cm.

Once again, there was a battle between Colchester CG & South Birmingham RS for top position. By making an entry on all 9 bands, South Birmingham RS had the advantage and make first place, with Colchester CG in second Place.

John Quarmby G3XDY maintains first place in the single operator fixed section for the fifth year running with Neil Underwood G4LDR in second place.
