432MHz cumulatives 1998

 

Although most stations were disappointed with the general level of activity there was good Dx to be found in each of the five sessions to both Germany and Holland. Frank Laanen, PE1EWR, who was the sole overseas entrant, had a commendable normalised score and his log together with the checklog from PA3FTX helped with the adjudication process.
Some stations expressed a wish for a return to the 20.30hr start for future 70cm cumulative contests and one suggested a shorter duration contest.
Experienced contester John Quarmby, G3XDY, decided to use just 25W in the cumulatives and despite finding it hard work in the conditions he still came second in the single operator section and gained another certificate as leading 25W / single antenna station.
David Millard, G8NEY, came first in four out of the five sessions was the overall winner of the single operator section.
The All Other Section was hotly contested by M1CRO/P and G8OHM.
M1CRO/P triumphed by winning 3 sessions and the South Birmingham Radio Society who had laid claim to this section over the last few years had to be content with second place. The section was particularly close and I look forward to a possible return match next year hopefully with more entrants including some of the regulars who were conspicuous by their absence.
