80m SSB Contest - 6th March 2024

Thanks for taking part in the 6th March 2024 80m SSB contest - the second last SSB contest in the 2023-24 series. Great to see some first-time entrants in the results and to see 11 EI stations taking part. Congratulations to Mark EI6JK on winning overall. Regular entrants Sandi S57KM was the top European entry and Brian GM4JYB was the leading UK station. *Finalised* Results are shown below. UBN files sent to all entrants later today or on Friday. Thanks to Stew GW0ETF for activating the GW5GEI Bonus station, and to Roger EI8KN for activating the EI5G Bonus station. Unfortunately Roger had a problem with high SWR on his antenna, which reduced the number of QSOs he could make. The 'DDX Dream team' (Tim EI2KA, Tom G4BYE, Sandi S57KM and Allan SM5CSS) are doing well in the 'Teams of 4' competition (click on the pull-down menu). Now is a good time to plan a team entry for the 2024-25 season which starts in September. The '80m League table' has also been updated - click on the '80M Contests' tab, then select 'NEW - 80m League table'. The next contest in the series is on Wednssday 27th March 2024 on CW. 73 from the Adjudicators - Chris GM3WOJ, Tim G4FJK and Stew GW0ETF.
