September 10GHz Contest 2017

Better conditions were reported by several stations for this event, with generally fine weather. Nick G4KUX made a good contact at 712km with F6DKW.

G4KUX also heads the Open section this time, with Graham G8HAJ in second place, and in the Restrcited section David M0GHZ takes the honours, with M0HNA/P in second place. Congratulations to all those mentioned.

As this was the final event in this year's High Band Championship, the overall results show that in the Restricted Section the Combe Gibberlets Group M0HNA/P won with leading scores in the second and fourth events and second place in the third and fifth sessions. Runner up was Stewart G0LGS/P who won the first session and was runner up in the fourth and fifth events. The leading fixed station was David M0GHZ.

In the Open Section a great performance from the Telford & District Amateur Radio Society G3ZME/P had the series sewn up after three sessions, and they eventually ran out winners of two sessions and runner up in another two. Not too far behind in the runner up position was the leading fixed station, Neil G4LDR, who won the second event, and also took the runner up slots in the first and third events.

The G3JMB Trophy goes to the Combe Gibberlets Group M0HNA/P, and the G3RPE Memorial Trophy goes to Telford & DARS G3ZME/P. Congratulations to all those mentioned.
