24GHz/47GHz/76GHz Contest October 2020 and mm-wave Championship

As in 2019 the last event of the mm-wave series saw the best entry level of the year on 24GHz, with 10 stations submitting logs this year. Congratulations go to Martyn G3UKV/P who was the clear winner, aided by good DX contacts with G6ZME/P (Paul G8AQA) roving in Lancashire. Roving boosted scores for all the entrants, with runner up Pete G1DFL/P operating from no fewer than four locations in the home counties.

On 47GHz Roger G8CUB/P worked Chris G0FDZ/P over two one way paths to share first place.

On 76GHz Neil G4LDR/P and Noel G8GTZ/P share the spoils with their 17km QSO.

This was the last event in the curtailed mm-wave series for 2020, the final scores are summed across the three sessions that took place. Despite (maybe because of?) the impact of Coronavirus entries are higher on all three bands this year.

On 24GHz Martyn G3UKV/P is the clear leader with two winning sessions. Roger G8CUB/P was the runner up. Robin G8APZ was the only fixed station entrant.

Roger G8CUB/P takes first place on 47GHz, winning all three sessions, with Dave G4FRE/P as the runner up.

76GHz sees Roger G8CUB/P also take first place, with Neil G4LDR/P runner up. Roger won two sessions and Neil one.

Congratulations to all the winners and runners up. Martyn G3UKV/P will receive the G0RRJ Memorial Trophy for 24GHz, and the 47GHz Trophy will go to Roger G8CUB/P.
