    21/28 MHz SSB Contest 2005.

    This year’s Contest brought some of the worst Condition on 21/28 Mhz for ages. The conditions are reflected in the numbers of QSOs made by the leading stations and in particular to the small numbers of overseas stations who bothered to submit a log..

    UK Open entries were down to 16, UK – QRP went down to 4 whilst the UK Restricted fell to just 8. 28 Logs received from UK Stations seems a little pathetic and may lead to the ending of this particular competition.

    On the other hand, Overseas entries were also well down. Overseas Open went from down to 13, Restricted went down to 10, but the QRP dropped to just a single log. There were no SWL logs 1.

    As a result there is only ONE certificate awarded in some of the Sections.

    The UK Open leader made 107 QSOs with only 16 on the 10m band. In the restricted Section the leader made 48 QSOs on 15m and 21 on 10m.

    As far as the Overseas Section goes,RA6DB worked 109 UK Stations on 15m to gain second place overall whilst SM0MPV/0 worked 33 on 10m which helped him snatch the overall lead. Where are all the logs from UK Stations? It is obvious from perusal of the Logs some UK stations made many QSOs, but did not submit a log – why? With electronic log submission it’s just a few keyboard clicks. Overseas restricted was easily won by 9A5KV

    It was nice to see logs from such far off places as 5U7B, VK8AV, YB1BAD, JF3BFS, AT0D, and EK3SA.

    The Whitworth Trophy is awarded to G3VHB – Chris Swallow
    The Powditch Trophy is awarded to G3VHB – Chris Swallow

    There being no entries in the UK SWL Section, neither the Metcalf Trophy nor the Powditch Receiving Trophy can be awarded.

    Certificates have ben awarded to the leading stations in each Section.

    There have beenthe usual problems adjudicating this year’s Contest, mainly in the form of submitting Cabrillo logs. One third of UK Entries did not put suficient detail in the log header, indication Section, power or antenna – nor a claimed summary of QSOs / Multipliers. Many overseas stations only marked their logs High or Low Power. It was noted that some “Low Power” entries were using multi element beam antennas. These have been included in the Open Section. Please read the rules.
