80m SSB Contest - 3rd September 2025
Thanks for taking part in the first 80m contest of the 2025-2026 season. Despite the auroral conditions in the previous few days, conditions were reasonable, although no DX QSOs (over 2500km) were made.
Several logfiles were received from contesters taking part in a UKEICC 80m contest for the first time - we hope you enjoyed the simple format and will enter future events.
*Finalised* results are shown below and have been emailed to all entrants, along with your UBN file.
Congratulations to Mark EI6JK on winning overall and to Tim G8X (G4FJK) in second place. Also to Per SE2P (SM2MTR) as the leading non-UK/EI entrant. Also to Steven M7WLT as leading QRP entrant.
Use the Results Filter buttons below to select different options.
Thanks to Aidan EI8CE who activated the Ei5G Bonus station, making 55 QSOs and to Chris GM3WOJ who activated the GM5GEI Bonus station, making 57 QSOs.
The next contest in this new series is on 24th September 2025 - on CW.
73 The UKEICC adjudication team. (GM3WOJ, G4FJK, EI2KA, GW0ETF, G4PVM)
