Another big pat on the back to our SDWS Contesters



Sheffield and District Wireless Society is making a real impact on the UK
Amateur radio Contesting scene these days and its all due to a keen and
enthusiastic band of members who are prepared to devote a large amount of
time to operating on the clubs behalf.
Not only are we top of the UKAC Local Club League and 4th in the RSGB 80m
Club Contest League but we have just finished 6th in the 2016-2017 series
of the Affiliated Societies Contest and have qualified for an honourable
mention Certificate! You can see by looking at the band headings on the
results table that the series of contests spanned 160 metres to 432MHz,
both SSB and CW.

Here is the contest adjudicators (G3SQX) report

Ed, G3SQX, visited our Arran IOTA Contest team last year and had dinner
with us on our last night on the island. a very nice bloke.


AFS Super League 2016-17
The top three slots in this composite of RSGB contests were once again
fought over by the same clubs as in previous years. However their positions
changed, with Camb-Hams moving into first place, gaining maximum points in
five of the six contributing contests, and winning theHadley Wood Contest
Group Trophy. A second place certificate goes to Bristol Contest Group who
were close behind, and the third place certificate was gained by Grimsby
ARC.,Â*Pembrokeshire Contest Group, Tall Trees Contest Group, Sheffield &
District Wireless Society and Chesham & District Amateur Radio Society were
justÂ*below in the table all receiving certificates for finishing in the
top three-quarters of scores in the six contributing contests.
