April 2014 Lowband Contest Results

A continuing overall fall in entries to these events is a concern. A substantial number of UK stations were active but did not submit logs for this event. Entrants suggestions for changes to encourage more entries are very welcome.

The only continental station appearing in the logs was F1RJ, worked by M0HNA/P on 1.3GHz.

M0HNA/P won 1.3GHz, with a large margin over G0RUZ as runner up. GI6ATZ (IO74) provided the best DX for most entrants.

M0HNA/P also leads on 2.3GHz, but with a close fought battle with G8DTF who emerged as runner up.

On 3.4GHz G4LDR took the top spot with M0HNA/P as runner up.

The overall winner was the “Combe Gibberlets” group consisting of G3TCU, G3WBQ, and G4SJH, who won 1.3GHz and 2.3GHz, and were runners up on 3.4GHz. Overall runner up and leading fixed station is Neil Underwood G4LDR who was the band winner on 3.4GHz.
