On September 3rd & 4th the RSGB - 144 MHz Trophy Championship Contest took place from 14:00 UTC. This was a 24 hour event and this year I was active with the Blacksheep Contest and DX Group under the callsign "G8T" from Locator square JO01KJ.
There was a lot of preparations made for this contest so most of the group arrived on the site Thursday and started to put together our station for the weekend. Wx was reasonable for the time of year.
Antennas: 2x14 + 4x10 + 6x3 + 2x9
The Band conditions this year was more or less Flat with a slight enhancement towards the South West towards Spain. No equipment issues this year for a change - everything worked except our Internet connection which failed from 2300 UTC to 10.30 UTC which prevented us making many skeds via ON4KST Chat facility.
We finished up this contest this year in 2nd Place with 700 QSO’s 288,644 points and our ODX was OE1W at 1125 Km. Thanks to all for the QSO's I do hope to work you in the next contest.
GL & 73
