It was really good to see nearly 50% more entries this year over last year, even with one or two old faithfuls missing. Activity on the high bands continues to increase, but so 70cm activity was also up this year. The results on many of the bands were clear cut, but the single operator fixed section on 10 GHz was very closely fought, with careful adjudication needed to confirm the placing between G3XDY and G4EAT.
In spite of just losing out on 3cm, John Quarmby, G3XDY had a commanding lead over Neil Whiting, G4BRK in the overall Single Operator Fixed section. After many years of trying, the South Birmingham RS finally won the Open Section, leaving the Northern Lights, operating from the Isle of Man in second place.
