RSGB 80/40m CW AFS Contest 2024

This contest was well supported again with 241 logs, up on last year,  and a good Non UK&CD entry. 80m was, as expected in this solar cycle,  in a poor condition till later but the 40m band conditions were reported as good throughout by many entrants. Many UK stations again worked continentals who were participating in various other contests, especially on 40m. Northern UK stations again did not fare so well this year.

The scores have been divided into three power categories, with certificates for the highest numeric teams in each category.

The highest scoring local club this year was Cray Valley RS A followed by Camb Hams A, and then Norfolk ARC A.

The highest General Club entry was again Three A's A, who also win the Edgware Trophy for the highest club score. They are followed by Three A's  B, then RSGB CC A.

The first placed individual score again went to G4PIQ ,who wins the Marconi Trophy, followed by M0DXR, who  had a perfect log , and G4FNL, in the 400 w section. In the other power sections, the leading 100W station was G4A (G0TSH), ahead of G4PVM and G4ENZ, The leading 10W station was M7R (G0TPH),  ahead of G3SWC and  G3OGP.The leading non UK station was DK2FG, ahead of DF5EN and SF6W.The leading intermediate station was 2E0TJX.
