SSB Field Day 2010 - Report

Graham G4FNL our Contest Manager, writes the following report on the WADARC Mailing list.

The results have been announced for SSB Field Day 2010. You'll be pleased to know that we achieved 2nd place in the Restricted section.

Notably, the winner was way ahead of us ­ and even more impressive was the fact that he was a single operator. He's just got a good QTH, a GW call-sign, stamina and he's obviously a reasonable operator too.

From WADARC perspective, I think it's the best that we've ever done in a contest ­ certainly under my stewardship. So, a hearty congratulations and my thanks to all those involved including: Phil G4UDU, Peter G8MSQ, Pete G4LKW, Andre M0RAV, John G8FMJ, Rod M0RDV, Ben 2E0BSF, Gerry M3ORE, and Bob G3REP.

We have a full write-up in the Sept/Oct 2010 edition of the club magazine - Ragchew

Practical Wireless 2m QRP Contest, June 2010

Graham also writes:

It seems that Kelvan (M0KEL) and Rod (M0RDV) came 28th using the callsign G1WOR/P in the Practical Wireless QRP 2m Contest back in June 2010. They had approx 50 QSOs, and were top in their Grid Square. Therefore, they beat nearby rivals M0REG and the Mid Sussex teams. So, congratulations to Kelvan and Rod for representing the Club so well
