November 2017 Lowband Contest Results

Good activity for the time of year was a fairly universal view on 23cm, but entry levels on 13cm seemed down a little. Conditions were nothing special on any of the bands.

On 1.3GHz the winner was Conrad PA5Y,with John G4ZTR as runner up. Conrad worked most of the entrants plus several DL stations that didn't appear in other logs, with a correspondingly high points/QSO tally. Pete G1DFL was the leading low power entrant. Richard GD8EXI made the best DX contact, working F6DKW in Paris.

On 2.30GHz M0HNA/P was once again the only entrant but doubled the number of stations worked to two this time out.

Neil G4BRK won 2.32GHz by the smallest of margins from another Neil, G4LDR, with the latter making the best DX with Barry G4KCT.

G4BRK also won 3.4GHz, with Martyn G3UKV in the runner up slot. Martyn made the best DX with his QSO with Ralph G4ALY in Cornwall.

The overall winner was the Combe Gibberlets group consisting of G3TCU, G4SJH, and G1EHF, who won on 2.30GHz and were third on 1.3GHz. Overall runner up and leading fixed station was Neil G4BRK, who was the winner on 2.32GHz and 3.4GHz.
