1st 80m CC Datamodes Contest 14th February 2024

The 80m Datamodes CC season got underway with 154 entries submitted, this being down on last year. Whilst conditions were generally favourable, the date wasn't perhaps the best for many. Once again there was evidence of folk being a little excited and overdriving the audio stages, or forgetting to turn off the compressor. This only looses QSOs not gains them.

Aside from the date being somewhat of an issue, the event is one that is a firmly established favourite within the community as the length and timing works nicely for many. Also it is nice that our contest is supported by our near European neighbours as their calls in the mix always add spice.

So to the results, Clubs first where we see Norfolk ARC in the Local section once again have mobilised their members and are setting what may well be an unassailable lead early on leaving the real fight for 2nd place between Bristol CG and Newbury &DARS. In the General section Three As are galloping away with De Montfort University ARC locking horns with the Radio Officers Association for the second place spot.

In the individual results wins were recorded for:-

G4ENZ in the 100W-A Section

G4FNL in the 10W-A Section

M7W (G3TBK) in the 100W-U Section

G4PIQ in the 10W section.

Well done to all stations.

Our thanks to John Barber GW4SKA for putting GW 6XX on the air for the test giving away 114 valuable 5 point QSOs.

Until we RY again on the 4th March, good DX
