The RaDAR Challenge

/

The third South African RaDAR Challenge for the year runs from 00:00 UTC to 23:59 UTC on Saturday 6th November 2021.

The RaDAR operators define their own operating time schedule of a maximum, single period of four hours operation.

The RaDAR Challenge is not considered to be a contest but an individual challenge with a low QSO count, thus activity is on all bands using CW, SSB, FM or any legal amateur radio digital mode including cross band contacts via amateur radio satellites. Participants are encouraged to have fun.

FMH Portable Operations Challenge 2021 Result

/

The Portable Operations Challenge 2021 took place on 4-5th September 2021 and the overall winner showed what can be done from a great portable location and using very low power. With just six contacts and running at one-watt CW on twenty metres, Jack Haefner NG2E took out the top spot with a grand total of 615,924 points.

His six contacts were from all around the US plus one that went all the way from his Hogback Mountain SOTA summit W4V/SH-007 in Virginia to French SOTA chaser Christian F4WBN near the French/Spanish border. All contacts took place within 32 minutes of operating, in session two of the contest.

The most efficient contact measured in kilometres per watt used was that same Virginia - France contact with 6,340 kilometres per watt achieved.

So, this year both the overall winner and the furthest km/watt contact title go to one person - Jack Haefner NG2E. WELL DONE Jack!
