May 432 MHz Trophy Results.



With conditions being noted as "Poor to Average" it's good to see an increase in participants of almost 50% over last year in the Single Fixed section, the Open Section entrants were as 2008.

In the Open Section congratulations go to G8P the Parallel Lines CG with a substantial win, second place was taken by M1CRO/P the Colchester CG.

The Single Fixed section was substantially won by Bryn G4DEZ who repeated his 2008 win, second place doing to G8HGN.
