Easter contest winners’ chocolate smiles!
Prizes of chocolate eggs delighted the winners of Wythall Radio Club’s annual Easter Contest!
Awards for the highest placed Foundation licencees were Juliet M6RSC (2m/70cm FM section) and Ian M6LQY (all bands/modes) (pictured). Ian just pipped Harry M6NKW to this award by 1 qso! However Harry’s high score and confidence on the air won him the Most Promising Newcomer prize.
The overall winner of the large and delicious Easter Egg for 2m/70cm FM section was Jim 2E0BLP, who is always highly placed in our Christmas and Easter Contests. Mike G4VPD and Don G0NES were second and third.
In the all bands/modes section, David G7IBO achieved a very high winning score, followed by Simon G4TVR and Chris G7DDN.
The Club experimented with use of network radio in the ‘all modes’ section, using its private Zello group. This was very effective at enabling contacts with members located further afield. It also helped overcome the problem of Gorcott Hill – a local landmark that straddles our Club area and prevents contacts between members who live either side of it.
