2019 AFS Events:
.
The very highest scoring stations in CW AFS were all using 400W, as would be expected. All 25 scores from 337 down to 243 were on 400W.
However, 100W and 10W stations still proved that very respectable results could be had without using a bulldozer.
Malcolm's own score of 203 was excellent on 100W.
Looking at raw scores for the DATA AFS it appears that Grimsby will head the Local section, followed by NARC then Camb-Hams.
That said positions can change so easily, dependant upon the deductions of the dreaded UBNs and penalties.
The De Montfort University team scored highest overall but their entry presumably will go into the General Section as will the entry from Three As.
We should expect some very strong competition in the forthcoming 80mCCs as they've obviously got to grips with datamodes.

Still to compete:
.
Saturday 19th January 1300-1700utc 80/40m SSB AFS.
Sunday 3rd February 0900-1300utc 432MHz AFS.

Please make an effort in 2019 to send me YOUR contest efforts. Others do like to read about ALL NARC contest news.
I don't have a qualification in telepathy and I feel sure it would make interesting material for the readers of the Newsletter as well as providing some impetus for some newcomers to try their hand at contesting. So, don't hide your light under a bushel! Could use some pictures too!
