Results:  40 Metres Counties Contest, 10th May 2020

Posted:  25th May 2020

With the local F2 critical frequency hovering around 4.5 MHz, this was not a good day for a local contest on 7 MHz.  Quite a few EI and GI stations were active during the contest – excluding uniques, 31 EI and GI stations are in the logs.  The problem was that we couldn’t hear each other!  Once again our overseas friends saved the day – almost 80% of logged QSOs were between an EI/GI station and an overseas station.
