Results:  40 Metres Counties Contest, 8th May 2016

Posted:  23rd May 2016

Comment:  Band conditions were very difficult during this contest, the result of disturbances caused by a fairly strong geomagnetic storm.  EI/ GI contesters struggled to make local QSOs.  Thanks to participation by a number of overseas stations, some logs show reasonable QSO numbers – although the scarcity of EI/GI multipliers kept the scores well down.
