2nd 50MHz Backpackers Contest of 2005

Eleven contestants entered the 2nd 50MHz Backpackers Contest of 2005. Band conditions were very different to the 1st 50MHz contest with no DX and generally flat conditions. Most entrants remarked that it was hard going to make any contacts at all under these conditions.

The winners of the 10W multi-operator section were the Malvern Hills B team, GW4IDF/P. The Wythall Radio Club, GX4WAC/P were the runners-up.

The10W Single Operator section was won by Dave Hewitt, GW8ZRE/P with Ivan Davies, G3IZD/P in second place.

The 3W Single Operator section was won by Michael Wright, G1WKS/P. Ron Price, GW4EVX/P was the runner-up.
