April 2016 Lowband Contest Results

Activity was quite poor for this event, well down on last year's levels.

Conditions were generally rated as poor too, and DX was reduced as few continental stations were active.

Some logging errors were encountered, for example all dates out by 6 days. Please check your log carefully for errors, entries can be overwritten with corrected versions up to the closing date. No points were deducted on this occasion, but a more severe penalty may be imposed in future.

On 1.3GHz G4BAO was active on EME and worked G4CCH, OZ4MM and OK1CA. Unfortunately the logged time for OK1CA fell just outside the contest period, which meant that M0HNA/P were the winners on this band.

On 2.3GHz G4KCT was the clear winner and was the best DX for most entrants. M0HNA/P were in the runners up spot on this band.

M0HNA/p was the leader on 3.4GHz, with G4LDR in pursuit.

The overall winner was the Combe Gibberlets group M0HNA/P consisting of G3TCU, G4SJH, and G1EHF, who won 1.3GHz and 3.4GHz and were runners up on 2.3GHz. Overall runner up and leading fixed station is Mike G8CUL.
