Hi All,
Herewith a “Stop Press” posting for the CARC blog :

< Stop Press : The adjudicated results for The July 2010 VHF Contest
have just been posted on theRSGB VHF contest site (www.rsgbcc.org)
– - – The joint Crawley- Reigate team under the callsign G5LK/P have
achieved yet another excellent result in the 2010 VHF NFD contest
coming in overall second place in the UK open section being just
pipped by the very strong G3VHF/P Colchester ARC team who until last
year had been overall winners for the past 5 years until being
displaced from first place in 2009 by the CARC/RATS entry.
The G5LK/P team gained overall first on the very hotly contested
144Mhz band and second place on 432Mhz and third place this year on
1296Mhz after achieving first place in 2009. The results on 70Mhz and
50Mhz were a little disapointing by comparison at 7th place and 12th
place respectively, However this is a good overall result -
congratulations to all the team.
