This contest lends itself ideally to having a 12 hour section
particularly for the UK where we are at a distinct disadvantage to
non-UK participants and it is therefore somewhat disappointing that the
section isn't given more prominence. The title "Restricted" was
certainly confusing before so the change to "12 Hour" is welcome. Pity
that the winner of the Ross Cary Trophy for top 12 hour UK station was
not given a mention in last year's reports, and again in the run-up this
year it seemed to be played down.
As Ian GM3SEK noted, there is an interesting technique in choosing when
to take breaks, annoyingly for me, whilst we both chose a similar
pattern, particularly for HF band openings, Ian has beaten me, as did
Chris G3VHB last year. Given that there is some continued competition I
could be convinced to try again next year!
Anyway, well done Ian. Here are the comparative scores (16 of my Qs were
