April 2015 Lowband Contest Results

It is pleasing to report a growth in activity and entry levels for this event. Some thought it was still too long, however.

Conditions seemed reasonable and there were a number of French stations active that helped boost scores. The best DX recorded was between M0HNA/P and GM4CXM, with the G3YJR contact with F6DKW a close second.

Mike G8CUL won 1.3GHz after a close battle with the Combe Gibberlets M0HNA/P.  GM4CXM appeared most frequently in the best DX column.

G8CUL also leads on 2.3GHz, but with a much larger margin of victory over M0HNA/P. GM4CXM again provided the best DX on this band.

On 3.4GHz M0HNA/P took the top place, with Martyn G3UKV as runner up.

The overall winner was the Combe Gibberlets group consisting of G3TCU, G4SJH, and G1EHF, who were runners up on 1.3GHz and 2.3GHz, and winners on 3.4GHz. Overall runner up and leading fixed station is Mike G8CUL  who was the band winner on both 1.3 and 2.3GHz.

Certificates go to the overall Winner M0HNA/P and Runner-up G8CUL and to the following winners:

1.3GHz   G8CUL, M0HNA/P, G4ZTR (Low Power)
