80m CW Contest - 25th March 2026

Thanks for entering the March CW contest. Conditions seemed good both within the UK/EI and Europe with good numbers of contacts being made of over 2000km. There were also some new calls appearing which is always most welcome. E77EA is overall winner with SM5CSS the leading low power and unassisted entrant. G3P (G3WPH) heads a competitive cohort in the QRP category. Bonus calls were EI5G (op EI2KA) and GM5GEI (op GM3WOJ). Don't forget the UK/EI DX contest (CW) which takes place on 25/26th April
