80m CW Contest - 26th January 2022

Thanks for taking part in the January 2022 80m CW contest. Long skip conditions tonight here in North Wales that seemed to get longer as the hour progressed with generally weak inter UK and EI signals. A good number of calls not recorded before in these contests were noted which is encouraging. Leading score was posted by Vlad RW1A with Clive GM3X (GM3POI) second. Sandi S57KM was 3rd overall and leading Low Power entrant. Mike G3P (G3WPH) headed the QRP section. 73, Stew GW0ETF / GW4J Adjudicator (Thanks also to G4PVM, G4FJK, EI5DI)
