This year’s Construction Contest was as well attended as most meetings nearing the end of the pandemic.

Fourteen attended to judge the five entries. This year there were no entries in the ‘Novice’ class. i.e. a member’s first entry in the Contest. However there were three entries in the Kit class. The winner was Rob, M0IXM showing his QRP Labs QCX transceiver for 20 and 40m.  The class called the ‘Weekend Special’ was won by Victor, G3JNB with his permeability tuned QRP wire tuner covering 10 to 40m at 10 watts. The ‘Major Project’ this year was won by Don, G4LOO showing his coax winding machine. As he explained in his exhibition, winding numerous sixty foot Lengths of coax after a major contest is quite a chore. This battery driven winder will do the job in minutes!
