Despite solar flares which upset conditions on the Saturday, we had a very good turn out. This year COVID-19 continued to make all our lives more difficult than ever but Amateurs across the world took up their hobby in lockdown and conditions have been on the improve.
Congratulations to Catherine, VK7GH for taking the top position. We had 11 YL's using Echolink this year and Jenny, VK3MDR took out the top prize for that mode.
A huge thank you to all the OM's who joined in and gave the YL's points, even if they didn't put in a log.
I wanted to make mention of the Scouts and Girl Guides who joined us this year, they did very well and quite confident in the use of the radio. Our Top Foundation Licence award was taken out by VK7LJB - Eagles.
With Covid a distant memory, let's all celebrate next year by coming out and participating in the Alara Contest. Thank you so much for taking part and supporting ALARA.
