80m SSB Contest - 1st March 2023

Thankyou for taking part in the March 80m SSB contest. The winner was G4PIQ, a fine effort from JO02. GM4JYB was second overall and leading Low Power entrant with M0ITR heading a couple of 5 watt entries with his contest call G6C. The band was noisy in North Wales and apologies for failing to dig out some possible callers from my S7/8 noise level. The majority of participants however managed to work both bonus calls for the extra points; Marty EI2IAB operated EI5G while I celebrated St David's Day with GW5GEI. The March CW leg is on the 29th and it's not long now until the UK/EI DX CW contest on April 29/30th.. 73, Stew GW0ETF - Adjudicator and GW5GEI op (*) = Connected
