70MHz CW 1998

A sharp decrease in entries for this contest, although the leading stations worked about the same number of QSOs as last time - where are all the logs?

At least there was no Sporadic-E QRM this year' was one comment - Most found activity low and disappointing. Still, Steve G4AEQ found 22 stations to work, which earns him a certificate for leading the SF section. Derek G3NKS is his runner-up. Certificates also to the leading and runner-up 25W-or-less stations - Frank G3FIJ and Ian G4OUT.

The lone entrant in the Open section, GW3LVP/P, operated by G3LVP and G4OIT, gets a certifcate for their achievement.

With 70MHz enjoying a revival since S5 stations came onto the band, lets' hope for a better showing next year.
