24GHz/47GHz/76GHz Contest October 2022 and mm-wave Championship

This year saw record entry levels for this final session of the mm-wave Championship, with respectable conditions as well, so some good scores were achieved.

On 24GHz there was a close battle at the top with Keith GW3TKH/P emerging just ahead of Roger G8CUB/P who used three sites as a rover to good effect. Best DX was between G3UKV/P and co-sited G4SJH/P and G1EHF/P at 147km, although logging errors resulted in loss of points in one direction for some of these contacts.

47GHz sees Roger G8CUB/P take the rostrum by a substantial margin using his roving to good effect. The best DX was Roger's contacts with co-sited runners up GW3TKH/P and GW4HQX/P at 101km.

On 76GHz G8CUB/P also recorded a clear win with the joint team of GW3TKH/P and GW4HQX/P the runners up, and also the best DX worked at 94km. The 101km path they worked on 47GHz would only work one way on 76GHz.

This was the last event in the mm-wave Championship for 2022. Compared with 2021, entries were up this year.

On 24GHz Martyn G3UKV/P was the winner, with Roger G8CUB/P in second place. Both won one session and were runners up in another.

Roger G8CUB/P came out in the lead on 47GHz, with one win and two second places, but with only a small margin over Neil G4LDR/P who won two sessions.

Roger G8CUB/P repeats his winning ways on 76GHz with two session wins. Runner up was John G8ACE/P with one win and one runners up slot.

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.
