The Ross Hull Contest for 2018 results have been released.
First a little history on the contest - it was established in 1950 to honour the memory of the late Ross A. Hull and his pioneering achievements in the study of tropospheric propagation and the development of new equipment techniques for the higher bands.
The contest runs for the whole of January and entrants may operate on every contest day, but the final score is based on the best seven days nominated by the entrant.
For amateurs with limited operating time, there is also a "Best 2 Days" section. For many entrants, the two days of the Summer VHF-UHF Field Day will probably turn out to be the best two days in the month.
Each contact scores one point for each 100 km of distance worked. This score is then multiplied by the band multiplier. The total score is the sum of the scores on all bands.
The contest operates on 6m and above and now the announcement you have all been waiting for.
This year the winner of the analog section is again Ted Thrift, VK2ARA, and the digital winner is again Rex Moncur VK7MO. Congratulations to them and to all other entrants.
