Whitton Amateur Radio Group

The results have been published and without further ado the attached image should attest to how Whitton Amateur Radio Group using M2W did.

We entered as a Multi-Two entry. This meant we could have 2 radios working the bands for full 48 hours. The 2nd stations was not just for spotting multipliers.

We came 1st in England as a Multi-Two station with 1,733,312 points.

Thank You to all who operated and worked us, and whilst we didn’t put an entry in for 2008, hopefully we will be back with vigor to put on a superb entry in 2009.

Even though the clubs call sign M2W is a very small RF footprint within the Contest world the actual result we achieved during the 2007 CQ WW contest is quite remarkable.

The club call M2W has been listed within the section of ‘Multi- operator two transmitter ‘Europe’ CQ Amateur Radio January 2008. Taking into account that we had a considerable number of first time/newly licence operators taking part our achievement as a club is fantastic. The results show us listed as 3rd in the UK (2nd if you do not count Scotland!!) and 12th overall in the subdivision we entered.

Just to verify M2W has had 1,326,274 points confirmed and the station just above us was G4IIY.

G4IIY managed to achieve 1,391,190 points. Only having, 64,916 points between us is a target for us next year.

So what are we going to do then to go up the point’s ranking and to beat Ian G4IIY? I have a suggestion for the next AGM we must agree to sign up ‘2 Vlad’s,. CQ CQ de UA9FAR x2 can we be heard in Asiatic Russia!

A big ‘well done’ to all who took part to make this club event such a success, above all the team work and fun we all had taking part made it all worthwhile. We have quite a few QSL cards to complete any volunteers?

I bet no other contest station taking part around the world had two disco parties of 100+ people taking place on two separate nights/mornings in the room next to the shack in there building! That must be worth some extra points?
