The UK Six Metre Group

2006 SUMMER CONTEST

Finally a UKSMG Contest with good propagation! After a bad run of poor propagation in previous years, this was a good one, and the good propagation is reflected in the scores. A number of logs were recieved with over 100 QSO's and therefore quite a lot checking to do.

The UKSMG club station GD5KW, was operated for the first time this year by Peter, G4MJS. Peter travelled up to the Isle of Man just to put GD5KW on the air for the contest. Although GD5KW achieved the top position, as an official UKSMG station it is not eligible for entry into the contest and has therefore submitted a check log.

During the last few years the number of entries in the SWL section has been very low or non existant!. David Whitaker, BRS25429 was again the only entry, but this time only sent a check log. I wonder why none of the other UKSMG SWL members are sending a log? Please remember, this is NOT a UK only section. The contest was once again dominated by the multi-operator section. The new QRP section proved to be a great success with 7 entries and some real big scores. Last but not least the outside of Europe section with few entries. I hope to see more enter in this section next year with the growing number of UKSMG members outside Europe, especially in the USA.

Congratulations to all section winners. Hopefully propagation will be even better next edition on the first weekend of June 2007
