2006 144 MHz UK Activity Contest & Club Championship



The entries for the 2m UK Activity Contest (UKAC) & Club Championship (CC) have grown steadily over this year. At the start of the year, 42 stations entered. The November session attracted 60 entries - they enjoyed the extremely good conditions of that evening. Overall, a total of 22 Affiliated Societies and 147 different call signs submitted entries over the 12 sessions.

The competition in the 2m Club Championship was intense. Two Clubs, Cray Valley Radio Society and De Montfort University Amateur Radio Society, emerged as the leading contenders for the title after only the first few sessions. Both clubs consistently managed to rally a large number of their members to operate during each activity session. 37 different call signs represented Cray Valley RS at various time throughout the year. De Montfort University RS were represented by 19 different call signs. Remember that in this contest, every entry to the club championship contributes the nominated club's points total. The competition remained very close until the final session!

One station (G4DEZ) dominated the Single Operation Fixed Station (SF) section by winning 10 of the sessions. G3MEH (Aylesbury Vale Radio Society) was the runner-up in the majority of the sessions.

In the Open section, G4IRC/P (Ipswich RC) and MW0OPS/P (Chepstow & DARC) battled for top honours. These stations were either first or second in the majority of the sessions. G3CWI/P (De Montfort University ARS) won two sessions and G5LK (Reigate ATS) and M0CRY/P (Cray Valley RS) each won a single session.

The vast majority of stations submitted their logs by email. This (usually) enabled adjudication to be completed and the results published on the VHFCC web site ([1]www.vhfcc.org) before the date of the next session.

With such a large number of entries - many from stations that do not normally enter VHF contests - there were more than a few problems with logs. Cabrillo format logs (the `norm' for HF contests) caused the most problems with missing information such as reports and serial numbers. Also, entrants who modified their logs using the Microsoft "Notepad" application caused problems because Notepad can alter the internal format of a log rendering it unreadable by the VHFCC Adjudication software.

With the large number of entries for this contest, a very comprehensive cross checking of logs was possible using the excellent adjudication software specially written by G0GJV for the VHFCC. This software produces `virtual' logs of stations that were active but did not submit a log. Using the virtual logs, the adjudicator can spot errors such as incorrectly recorded received serial numbers or no recorded serial number where it is very apparent that a station was sending serial numbers!

For the 2007 UKAC & CC there have been a couple of rule changes to assist the adjudicator in producing results in time for the next session. Firstly, only logs submitted by email in an allowable format will now be accepted. A web based log entry application is available on the VHFCC web site. Secondly, the entries must be received not later than 10 days after the date of the activity session.
