Disaster hits Remembrance Day Contest results
The Wireless Institute of Australia Board very much regrets to announce
that it has become necessary to abandon any further attempts to determine
the outcome of the 2005 Remembrance Day Contest.
The results already announced are withdrawn and no certificates will be
issued for the 2005 Contest.
The then RD Contest Manager did not complete the results and data has
been lost.
The new RD Contest Manager, Peter Harding VK4OD, has tried very hard to
recover the situation. However, it is now clear that the amount of data
lost makes it impossible to reconstruct the contest sufficiently for the
Board to have confidence in any results and the fairness of those results.
The Board is acutely conscious of the fact that the RD Contest is the
most supported of all the Australian contests and holds a very special
position in the eyes of very many radio amateurs, and so has taken the
step that it has with the greatest reluctance.
Changes to this years contest include ensuring that contest logs submitted
electronically will be on a secure site and available to the RD Contest
Manager, Peter Harding VK4OD, the National Contests Coordinator Ian Godsil
VK3JS and Trevor Quick VK5ATQ, the WIA Director responsible for contests
and awards.
The WIA Board offers its sincere apologies to the many who participated
in the 2005 Contest and hopes that all radio amateurs will again support
the 2006 Contest.
