Low Power Contest, 2002.

Congratulations to all the winners of this event, and every-one that took part, all of whom had to endure noisy bands and poor conditions. Don Beattie, G3BJ, won section A (10w fixed), and also obtained the most number of QSOs in the contest. The Melton Mowbray team, G4FOX/P, won section B (10w Portable) and also entered a perfect log. In section C (<3w fixed) Les Elliot, G4OGB, won the fixed event, and it was nice to see a good turn out of portable stations, of which the Hadley Contest Group, G4STV, won section D (<3w portable).

The weather was fine which gave an added incentive for going portable, and congratulations to DL2BQD who entered the contest from Beverly in Yorkshire, as M/DL2BQD/P. Many thanks to those who sent in check logs, which helped in the adjudication.

Dave Mason, G3RXP.
