Nothing too exciting in the way of conditions for all three sessions this year, with the best DX at around the 700 km. mark and some interesting geographical variations in scores between the sessions. The low power category attracted the largest crop of entries overall, which is perhaps some reflection of the difficulty in operating QRO during peak TV viewing hours.
The Milton Keynes ARS gave the Wythall CG a run in the Multi-Operator section this year, and threaten to be back with better antennas next time. Further North, John MacLean MM0CCC tried a portable outing for the second section of the event. He reports some evidence of enhanced tropo but not many beams pointing north alas. Andy G4PIQ and Dave G7RAU lead the high power Single Operator table, with Richard G4HGI and M. Wright G0GCI heading the low power section. Certificates are on their way to the winners and runners-up in each group
