This series of contests continues to be popular with entrants. The first 144MHz Backpackers contest of the millennium started as the last one in the previous millennium ended - with intense but friendly competition.
The overall standard of logging has deteriorated since last year with stations losing an average of 10% of their score. If you do not use a computer to produce your log it is worthwhile performing a manual duplicate contact check before you submit it. Two stations did manage to submit perfect logs however - congratulations!
M0AFC/P claimed a very convincing win in the Single Operator 10W section with GM4IGS/P achieving first place in the 3W section. In the multi-operator sections, the One Man & His Dog Contest Group, G8NWM/P claimed first place in the 10W section with the Malvern Hills RAC "B", GW4IDF/P claiming first place in the 3W section.
