[UK-CONTEST] 432MHz Jan Results

[Regwoolley at aol.com]

I managed 14 mults G8OHM down the road got 15 mults! I am perplexed at your 
 point that Bolton are well placed to work all the UK squares when the max 
worked  was the Birmingham guys with a load of us then on 14 
 IO92FM 1km from the centre of England! That is NOT Meriden by the  way!

There  are two key reasons why Bolton has scored so well. The primary one is
that  they put out more stations than anyone else. 10 in low power and 11  
in
restricted. Cray Valley are second with 7 stations. It is an  activity
contest after all!

The other reason is location. In IO83  they have access to more multipliers
than most, especially southern  stations. This is shown in the results, Cray
Valley averaged 4 mults in the  restricted section, Bolton averaged 8 in the
restricted and 4 in the low  power. The M5 rule has widened the gap slightly
but the end result would  have been similar under the old rules!!
