80m CW Contest - 26th April 2023

Thank you for joining us in the last 80m contest of this 2022/2023 season. It seemed there was a lot of activity from central Europe, which is encouraging. Short-distance QSOs around the UK and Ireland were difficult. Congratulations to Allan SM5CSS who is top of the table, and also "well done" to the four stations who worked another Allan, VK2GR. Thanks for supporting our 80m contests in this 2022/2023 season. We hope to introduce some new ideas in September for the new 80m season, while not breaking this popular contest format. Finally, please join us in the UK/EI DX CW contest this weekend. It promises to be better than ever ! 73 The UKEICC Adjudication Team
