Wythall Radio Club Easter Contest Awards Evening 2026
Daffodils bloom again at Wythall House- it must be Radio Club’s Easter Contest time
A good turn out of members again at Wythall House the other Tuesday to see the awards presented in the usual entertaining fashion by Lee G0MTN with the bonus of some slides from the family’s holiday to Japan (and even JA/G0MTN QSO’s to prove it.
Lee reported on the many take-aways from this year’s contest:
*There were over 100 contacts made over the contest period;
*There was trend away from the traditional 145.225 FM contacts ;
*There was an increase in the number of modes used to include – FM/GB3WL/GB3XO (Echolink)/SSTV/HF both CW and SSB and FT8;
*JA/G0MTN was a very welcome surprise call as Lee visited Japan with family;
*There was a brief discussion of how the rules might evolve for future Easter Contests;
(The Easter contest was always designed to be a simpler version of the Xmas Contest)
*Lee also gave the meeting a brief update on the many challenges he faces as an organiser of the WORLD RADIO TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP to be held in the UK on July 11th 2026.
