After the excellent conditions and low levels of QRM in the 2nd 2m Backpacker contest, entrants had to contend with the high levels of QRM caused by an extensive sporadic E opening during this contest.
Four stations managed to submit perfect logs for this contest and a further five stations lost less than 2% of their claimed score - congratulations! The average points lost were 7.1% for this contest.
The West Kent Radio Society, G1WKS/P, wins the Single Operator 3W section with M0AFC/P claiming first place in the 10W section. In the multi-operator sections, the One Man and His Dog Contest Group, G8NWM/P claimed first place in the 10W section with GW5NF/P claiming first place in the 3W section.
