BDXG's Contest review of 2009 |
|
As the year of 2009 draws to a end it is time to review the achievements of the Bittern DX Group as a whole and compare them to previous years.
It was an extremely busy year for BDXG on the contest front, with excellent performances in four of the RSGB Club Championships. Which culminated in the group securing its first RSGB Contest Certificate due to an excellent 4th place finish in only our second year of participation. We managed to consolidate our 2008 performance with our second Top10 finish in the 80m Club Championships but we unfortunately dropped a place this time around to finish in10th spot. BDXG also managed 5th position in the 70cm CC at our first real attempt, aswell as 13th position in the 50 MHz Club Championships.
