80m SSB Contest - 2nd November 2022

Here are the final results of the UKEICC 80m SSB contest held on 2nd November 2022. The band was busy, with both contest and non-contest traffic, and conditions seemed reasonable, although there was only one QSO > 2000km. Many people suffered from noise/QRN. Congratulations to overall winner Uwe DL8UD. In the high power section Nigel OE5TXF was 2nd, and Iain GM0V 3rd. In the low power section Michael G3R was 1st, Brian GM4JYB was 2nd, and Sandi S57KM was 3rd. There were just two QRP entries, Sergei YL3FW finished ahead of Ad PA0AWH. The results have changed since the provisional results were published as one entrant appeared to have sent a locator that was different to that declared in his log. Please check that your Cabrillo file contains your sent locator exactly as you were sending over the air! Thanks to the bonus station operators, Aidan EI8CE who made 73 QSOs as EI5G and David G3PLE. David was unable to operate in the contest and sends his apologies. He checked the station in the afternoon and it was OK, but unfortunately the 80m antenna was damaged in rain and high winds just before the contest. Thank you to everyone who took part. I hope that you will join us for the next 80m contest which is a CW contest on Wednesday 30th November. There are no UKEICC 80m contests in December, but this series continues in January 2023. 73 Paul G4PVM - Adjudicator
