80M CC SSB contest of 2013 - Monday Night 4th Feb

From M0XJP -

With the first 80M CC SSB contest of 2013 Monday night I thought I would look at last years scores.

There appears to have been 87 clubs taking part divided for some reason as GENERAL Clubs (49) and LOCAL Clubs (38) of which we are one. Stevenage came 15th out of  the 38 - a good score seeing as many members didn't take part which is a shame and that some who did (M0XJP for instance) missed at least 2 by being away and some started late.


Nobody did DATA.
Still, individual scores were:-
SSB LOW POWER (out of 356 participants)
G4DDX - 35th - Well done Ron!
M0XJP - joint 188th - Better luck next time...
G3BKZ - 203rd - Better luck next time...
G0MDR - joint 227th - Well done Fred for first try...
Not bad - none of us were last and there were 129 people after Fred
There were also about 70 people taking part in the QRP section - not included in the above placings.


CW LOW POWER (out of 258 participants)
G4DDX - 38th - Well done Ron!
G0MDR - joint 255th - Well done Fred for first try...

There were also about 87 people taking part in the QRP section - not included in the above placings.
