80m CW Contest - 28th September 2022

Thanks for entering the first CW contest of the UKEICC 2022-23 series of 80m contests. Finalised Results are shown below. UBN files have been e-mailed to all entrants(one e-mail bounced). Unfortunately we received 3 logs after the 1-hour log submission deadline, which could not be included in the Results. Comments from the Adjudicator : From here near Inverness I found the band noisy and signals weak for about the first 20 minutes, then things improved. Great to work a number of stations not worked before in these 80m events - we hope you enjoyed the simple format. Eire seems to have a whole new group of keen HF contesters.
Congratulations to Dragan E77EA on winning overall and to all the section winners.
A special mention for Eamo EI7LC - only licensed since July, this was his first-ever CW contest. To quote Rafal EI6LA "He just borrowed a paddle, as prior to the contest he was using a wire struck against a pair of Mole grips!" Well done Eamo!
These 80m events (from now until April 2023) have a 'Teams of four' competition running in parallel. Why not get together with some other entrants and form a team? You have until the end of November 2022 to let us know. There is a separate 'Teams competition' page where the combined scores are shown after each contest. Scroll down to read the Soapbox comments and for some Statistics. The next contest in this series is on SSB, on Wednesday 5th October at 2000z. Hope you can take part. 73 from the Adjudicator, Chris GM3WOJ -- with Paul G4PVM, Stew GW0ETF, Tim G4FJK and our speedy PCs.
