First up was CQWW SSB 2023 on 28 – 29 October 2023. Don began with our claimed score and gave a comparison to the year before. It appeared our score was a bit lower than last year. Most of the problems were listed starting with logging errors. A chart showed where the mistakes were made in incorrect calls, incorrect exchanges and duplicates as well as some calls not in the recipients log. Of course all errors lower the score in the end.

Don continued by showing who was first in the world, then first in EU and finally, who was first in the UK in our section. The tally showed we were sixth. Don also showed a comparison as to where we finished in years past. The totals seemed to change with the conditions each year.

The next contest to be looked at was the CQ WPX RTTY of 11 – 12 Feb 2024. The score looked high and was much better then last year coming third in our section!

The BIG question of the evening was have we made enough points to continue with our callsign G3B?  The answer was YES!
