Contests

The results of the 28MHz SWL Contest, held in the weekend of 10 and 11 December 2016, are available now. Due to the very poor propagation on the 10M band, there was very low activity from the SWL's.

In the CW category we found only one SWL active: Johan Heus, NL9723, and of course he is the winner of that category.

In the category Phone we found in total just 4 SWL's. The winner in the Phone category is Kees Schout, NL294. Also the places two and three are for Dutch SWL's. The fourth place was for the Spanish SWL Antonio Martinez Mendoza, EA3248URE.

The second VERON Short Listening Period Contest of this year is won by the Dutch SWL Johan Heus, NL9723, with a score of 4158. Second placed Sjuk Veenstra NL6904, scoring 4080, and third became Marc Stinkens, ONL4638, from Belgium with 2257 points.
The complete result table and the provisional ranking of the SLP Competition is available on: . There you also can find the rules of the SLP Contest series (8 times a year).
