80m CW Contest - 28th January 2026

Thanks for joining our first CW contest of the year. Activity was high with a good selection of DX to be worked. Here are the finalised results. Congratulations to Dragan E77EA for leading the results with 345 points. Peter DK2FG is leading Low Power entrant, with the F6KRK club station heading the QRP category. Sandi S57KM is again leading Unassisted entrant. The split between Assisted and Unassisted was very nearly 50:50. A word of appreciation to Greg W1KM who is often lurking ready to give some of us a 'best DX' contact..! 73 The UKEICC Team
