And yet another island from a much warmer spot in the Mediterranean. Yes, GD4IOM seemed to do what HV3SJ did last year. I have attemped to analyse the number of contacts Andrew made in the contest by the hour in graph form. This may interest some of you. The callsign was shown in some of the European logs between 06.30 and 09.30 and then vanished.
Congratulations go to all our section winners on a fine performance in difficult conditions.
This year I have summarised some of the equipment used by members participating in the contest and I have included your comments. Andrew, who operated the IOM club station, kindly gave me some information on the club. Ralph, 4X1IF also sent me two photographs of his attempt to go portable in the contest. Participation by the members remained satisfactory with 282 showing in the logs. The UK participation was also good with 182 members but, sadly, like the previous year, only 30 bothered to send an entry in.
