VHF Championship of 2008



Once again, all of the sections produced clear cut winners. The leading station in both the Open and Single Operator Fixed sections each entered all 9 of the Championship sessions. 42 (34 in 2007) stations out of a total of 197 (160 in 2007) participants in the Championship contests entered 3 or more of the qualifying events. These stations are listed in the results table. These results indicate an increase in participation in V/UHF contests over the year.

Congratulations to the Five Bells Contest Group for winning the Open section with last year's winners, the Colchester Contest Group of Colchester RA in second place.

Congratulations to Bryn Llewellyn, G4DEZ for winning the Single Operator, Fixed Station section, with Paul Selwood, G3YDY in second place.

Top honours in the Single Operator QRP section this year go to Ken Punshon, G4APJ with Dave Hook, M5ADF, in second place for the second year running.
