Results of The Low Band Contest 
2nd and 3rd April 2011

(6 metres, 2 metres and 70 centimetres)

One log was received and is therefore declared the winner!

Congratulation to Murray, ZL1HI, on Great Barrier island, for his fine solar-powered entry.

The band conditions were poor, with the ZL2 or ZL3 beacons not being detectable. The best DX on 6 metres was 80 km to ZL1AVZ, and 351 km to ZL2IP on 2 metres and 70 centimetres.

The full results can be found at: http://www.vhf.org.nz

REMINDER      VHF-UHF-SHF CONTEST RULES

http://www.vhf.org.nz/VHF-UHF-SHF-ContestRules

Contestants are reminded that Contest operations must fully comply with the General User Radio Licence (GURL) for Amateur Radio Operators (ARO), dated July 2010, and with the Contest Rules, otherwise penalties will be applied at the sole discretion of the Contest Committee.

All stations will be advised of the discrepancies and of the penalties applied.

6 METRE BAND (51 to 53 MHz).

The GURL does not permit operation between 50 and 51 MHz.

All 6 metre permits, for operation between 50 and 51 MHz, were cancelled in October 1995. After that date the Ministry introduced a “6 Metre Contract”. Please refer to page 16 of October 1995 Break-In for details.

Contest operation between 50 and 51 MHz must comply with all of the conditions of the particular 6 Metre Contract. The Contest Committee may request a copy of the 6 Metre Contract.

LOG KEEPING

Log entries must be complete and accurate. Log entries are compared with the entry in the log submitted by the station being worked and points deducted, or other penalties applied, for discrepancies.

MULTIPLIERS

Score Multipliers apply to the operating condition of the station submitting the Contest Log, not to the operating condition of the station being worked.

END
