VK6DXI wins DX competition

Mirek Rozbicki, VK6DXI, has won the Oceania Single-Op All Band category in both the phone and CW sections.

Overall activity was similar to that experienced in 2003, despite the 10cm solar flux index dropping from around 110 during the 2003 contest to 90 in the 2004 contest.

Compared to 2003, there was around a 21% increase in the number of logs submitted. The increase in participation appears to have offset any decline in conditions on the higher HF bands.

• Do you know any newcomers to HF DXing who have made great progress over the past year? If so, you are encouraged to nominate them for the prestigious G5RP Trophy, an annual award aimed at encouraging newcomers to HF DXing.

Nominations should be sent to Colin Thomas, G3PSM, at the RSGB Spectrum Forum at RSGB HQ or e-mailed to spectrum.chairman<no spam>@rsgb.org.uk. They should arrive no later than 27 August.

The winner will be presented with the trophy at the RSGB International HF and IOTA Convention in October.
