Large turnout at Kempton Rally

Hundreds of radio hams queued patiently in the scorching sun waiting for the doors to open for the Kempton Rally on Sunday 15 April.

The Kempton rally was host to the new RSGB Top Ham competition sponsored by Kenwood UK, Martin Lynch and Sons and RadioFairs.

Over 750 question papers were issued, and the first 100 who retuned their papers received a free commemorative mug.

The top six people with the highest scores entered a panel-style quiz hosted by Eugene Sully, G0VIQ, from Big Brother.

The quiz was televised round the show and via ATV repeater GB3HV to an internet stream.

After an intense, closely fought battle, Chris, G4IFX, took the RSGB Top Ham Trophy and first prize of a Kenwood TS 480SAT HF transceiver presented by David Wilkins of Kenwood.

The runner up, John, G4IRN, received a Kenwood TM-27IE transceiver.
