Summer VHF Activity Challenge 2024 – Results
Here are the final results of the GMDX Summer 2024 VHF Activity Challenge.
Congratulations go to Gordon MM0GOR who has been the leader throughout the 2024 challenge. Gordon was active whenever I switched during this challenge so his persistence has paid dividends. He has a total of 479 x 6m squares and 8 x 4m squares for a total of 487.
Last years winner Martin GM8IEM is 2nd with 458 squares including 142 x 4m squares and 316 x 6m squares. Martin was handicapped for at least some of the challenge by his rotator refusing to turn so that is a tremendous effort.
Other notables:
John GM4ATA managed an impressive 126 CW squares and Malcolm GM3TAL achieved 104 SSB squares.
Thanks to all for entering the challenge.
