August 2026 High Band Contest Results

For the fourth High Band Cumulative, operators were treated to an absolute gorgeous day for contesting, featuring blue skies, sunshine, and a welcome breeze without the extreme, oppressive heat experienced in July. While rain scatter enthusiasts were left empty-handed with no rain in sight across the country, radio conditions on both bands were described as average to fairly poor, making for an enjoyable but hard-fought session overall.

Activity across the board saw a strong boost. 5.7GHz was busy with 20 stations active across 9 grid squares (up from 15 in 7 in July). On 10GHz, turnout was similarly impressive with 32 stations active across 12 squares (up from 28 in 11 in July). French stations made a very welcome appearance in several logs, alongside much-needed northern activity in IO83 and IO84, plus active stations east in JO01 and JO02.

5.7GHz Results

- Participation: 13 stations submitted entries, up from 11 in July and 12 in June.

- ODX: The best path reached 376 km between Combe Gibberlets M0HNA/P (Walbury Hill, IO91) and Nick G0HIK/P (South Cumbria, IO84).

- Winners: Congratulations to Pete G4CLA for taking first place, with Combe Gibberlets M0HNA/P in second.

5.7GHz Series Standings
