80m CW Contest - 23rd February 2022

Thanks to everyone who took part. Here are the final results. Condx were fair with a mix of long and short skip. A good number of calls not recorded before in these contests were noted which is encouraging. A special welcome to Megan EI5LA age 15. Leading score was posted by Vlad RW1A with Chris GM2V (GM3WOJ) second. Allan SM5CSS was 3rd overall and leading Low Power entrant. Graham G4FNL headed the QRP section. Thanks to the operators of the bonus stations, Aidan EI8CE (EI5G) and Bob M0ITR (G5GEI). G5GEI was operated from the Marconi Centre at Poldhu Cornwall. With output at 300w using an Icom 7300 into an 80m dipole up 40ft in the Marconi Wireless Field where the first transatlantic message was sent in 1901. Out next contests are the 80m SSB contest on 2nd March and the 80m CW contest on 30 March. We hope that you will join us. 73, Paul G4PVM Adjudicator (Thanks also to GW0ETF, G4FJK, G3WPH)
