This year we had tough radio conditions for the Contest. In spite of our efforts to be in a noise free environment and constructing a linked dipole, we only made 8 contacts. It was good to see 12 logs come in from NSW.
Stacey VK2SJC and Alisha VK2FASH put in a wonderful effort under difficult conditions and I have awarded them a trophy each: Stacey as Top Scoring YL phone only and Alisha as Runner Up.
Deena VK6DEE is our top scoring YL on Echolink. Congratulations to all three of you.
The OMs who participated said they enjoyed the contest and Ash VK3HAG particularly likes the EchoLink section as he said he lost all his radio (RF) gear in a house fire but when he got a PC and put EchoLink on it, he found that he could participate in the ALARA Contest.
