Results:  80 Metres Evening Counties Contest, 19th March 2024 @ 20:00z (1 hour)

Posted:  10th April 2024

The first evening 80m Counties Contest of 2024 attracted 32 logs. Conditions were favourable for this contest. Well done to all of the winners of each section. SSB Low Power attracted the most entries. CW operation was up especially with stations outside EI/GI . The use of RBN and the contest announced on WA7BNM contest page may have helped here.

I thank all stations for taking part, particularly the new licenses. If anyone needs assistance with contesting please do not hesitate to ask, I would be more than happy to help anyone with this. I am around at this weekend of the IRTS AGM at the IRTS stand, and can go through it then. I can also be contacted on 0876738356.

These contests are for your enjoyment, so any feedback is always welcome.
