Panoramic View From Site

After our success in 2019, 2020 was something of a disappointment in a lot of ways with many contests and other events being cancelled or re-jigged into a pandemic friendly format. Indeed, even in 2021 a number of high profile events such as Newark Hamfest and the RSGB Convention are not going ahead or are only going ahead in a virtual format.

We were pleased, therefore, when it became apparent that VHF Field Day was going to return to the “traditional” rules and operation especially as our area of the United Kingdom did not have any special measures or pandemic rules applied to it at the time of the contest.

We returned to our most recent operating location in Clutton, part of deepest, darkest rural Bath and North East Somerset. This location offers an elevation of just under 200m above Ordnance Datum and is pretty much the highest point in the locality with a good take-off in all directions.

The site does house a cell phone tower but this did not create any significant problems.

Introduction

The Saturday team comprised (in no particular order): Paul G4PDC, Ken G4XCB, Andy G7KNA, Mark M0SKV and Greg M7BUF who was taking part in his first contest since acquiring his licence during full lockdown in 2020.

At the appointed rendezvous time of 11:00, some of the team were on site with the rest turning up almost exactly late! Despite this by 11:30 some progress was being made towards setting up antennas

AntennasAntennas

In the photos above, the 14 element beam attached to the horsebox is the 2m beam whilst the beam mounted on the disused telegraph pole is the dual band 4m/6m beam. Also visible in the right-hand photo is one of a family of goats that we have to share our field with. These lovely, inquisitive creatures are mostly harmless (as the Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy will describe Earth), however from a radio perspective they have something of a drawback and that is their innate curiosity which involves nibbling anything that is new in their environment. This can make the placement of feeders, power cables, rotator control cables and the like quite critical if we’re not to have a sudden shutdown or increase in SWR as power cables or coaxial feeder are nibbled.

Setup on the Saturday was more or less straightforward, we managed to misplace an adapter cable for one of the headphone splitters but managed to bodge a temporary fix. Setup was in the dry but later in the day once operations had begun we experienced periods of rain.

More AntennasThe Beam

The Sunday team comprised: Joe 2E0EIC (the “DX Wrangler”), Paul G4PDC, Ken G4XCB and Andy G7KNA. The weather was similar to the Saturday remaining dry during the competition period but turning for the worse in the late afternoon resulting in the crew dismantling the operation getting very wet as equipment was ferried from the operating post to the cars for transport hither and yon.

The DX WranglerCatering

Overall Saturday seemed to follow the usual pattern on 2m, there were perhaps a few less stations about and we didn’t hear EI9E at all over the weekend which was unusual. 6m was a band of two halves, the early operating period saw it acting very similarly to 2m then around 17:00 – 18:00 the band seemed to open with much longer paths becoming the norm, looking at the map of contacts in the analysis below there are clearly two distinct groups of contacts but oddly nothing into near Europe where 2m was able to make some coverage.

Sunday was more of a challenge, 2m was flat and there were few stations that we hadn’t worked on Saturday. Joe 2E0EIC who became known as our “DX Wrangler” managed to winkle out some good DX stations in Europe. It was hard work and we made slow progress getting the last 19 stations in our log to record a 3 figure QSO count, although we did get our best DX into Germany on the Sunday morning thanks to Joe.

4m seemed sparse, although 4 (14%) of the stations we worked were reporting serial numbers above 50 and 2 (7%) others were above 40 with 4 hours to go in the contest so maybe we weren’t trying hard enough. That said, we manged more contacts and more points than in 2019 when we last operated 4m with the same setup at the same location.

6m Results

The results presented below have been determined following analysis of the unadjudicated log, and will not be updated once results are known.

Number of QSOs

Table 1, below, presents the disposition of QSOs across the operating period and calculates both the average QSO/Hour and by how much each hour deviates from the average. This table when tracked over a number of years can provide an insight into the best times to operate.

TOTALS 59 100.00%  

An early flurry of contacts in the first hour saw us pick up about one third of the total number of contacts for the operating period, followed by a bit of a lull although our 6m team might have been doubling as catering staff during hour 3. An early evening resurgence saw us find another quarter of our overall contacts. We did persevere in the last hour of the 6m contest but didn’t find anything that hadn’t already been worked.

Points Scored

Table 2, below, presents the disposition of points scored across the operating period and calculates both the average points/QSO and by how much each hour deviates from the average. This table when read in conjunction with the QSO rate above can provide an insight into the best times to operate, as it is not always the most frenetic periods that yield the best distances.

Although the first 2 hours accounted for 44% of our total contacts it only accounted for 18% of our total claimed points, these contacts were relatively local and this trend continued, all be it less dramatically due to the limited number of contacts during hours 3 and 4. By the end of hour 4 we had worked over 60% of our total contacts but only amassed 43% of our total claimed points. Then came hour 5; hour 5 coincided with a change in the band. Not only did hour 5 provide 23% of the total stations worked but it also accounted for 48% of the total claimed score.

Distances Worked

Tables 3 and 4, below, present a summary of the distances worked. The best DX on 6m was SM2EKM at 2117km

Distribution of Distances

Table 4 – Statistical Analysis of Distances Worked (6m)

Quantity Value Population
Mean Distance (km) 641  
Median Distance (km) 156  
Mode (km) 14 3
1 Standard Deviation 742.36 65.52%
2 Standard Deviation 1,484.73 100.00%
3 Standard Deviation 2,227.09 100.00%

The distribution of distances shows two distinct peaks. There is a peak around 100km with 10 stations being in the 50km – 100km range and a further 9 being in the 100km – 200km range which corresponds to the early hours of the contest when there was a lot of similarities between 6m and 2m. Then there is a second peak in the 1500km – 2000km range which shows what happened as the band opened and good European stations became available.

Not a great deal of a pattern to comment upon. The single QSO in the first hour was a test QSO to make sure the transverter setup was performing as expected. Then bacon sandwiches were served for breakfast at which point operations ceased!

After that the QSO rate was reasonably constant although we switched between calling CQ and “hunt and pounce” operating.

Points Scored

Table 2, below, presents the disposition of points scored across the operating period and calculates both the average points/QSO and by how much each hour deviates from the average. This table when read in conjunction with the QSO rate above can provide an insight into the best times to operate, as it is not always the most frenetic periods that yield the best distances.

Hours 4 and 5 were when the better DX was worked, however there is little to speak about in terms of patterns.

Distances Worked

Tables 3 and 4, below, present a summary of the distances worked. The best DX on 4m was M0NFD/P at 355km

Distribution of Distances

Table 4 – Statistical Analysis of Distances Worked (4m)

Quantity Value Population
Mean Distance (km) 110  
Median Distance (km) 71  
Mode (km) 14 2
1 Standard Deviation 98.47 74.07%
2 Standard Deviation 196.94 96.30%
3 Standard Deviation 295.41 100.00%

The distribution is more or less a typical “normal distribution” bell curve, although this is slightly distorted by the fact that the histogram bins at the shorter distances are smaller than the histogram bins above 100km. The mean is above the median but not significantly so.

A familiar pattern on the Saturday, an initial flurry of activity in the first 2 – 3 hours sees almost 50% of the total contacts being made in the first 2 hours but after that activity dwindles and after hour 4 each of the remaining 8 hours is less than the average number of QSOs per hour in the contest in some cases by a significant margin. Sunday was particularly slow with very few new stations either responding to CQ calls or being found during hunt and pounce operations but our “DX Wrangler” Joe 2E0EIC was able to winkle out a few good ones.

Points Scored

Table 2, below, presents the disposition of points scored across the operating period and calculates both the average points/QSO and by how much each hour deviates from the average. This table when read in conjunction with the QSO rate above can provide an insight into the best times to operate, as it is not always the most frenetic periods that yield the best distances.

As in previous years although the first 2 hours accounted for 45% of our total QSOs they only accounted for 33% of our total points. By the end of the fourth hour however the proportion of QSOs and the proportion of points scored begins to track more consistently. We didn’t take advantage of an early start on the Sunday morning that has paid dividends in previous years.

Distribution of Distances

Quantity Value Population
Mean Distance (km) 154  
Median Distance (km) 118

2 Standard Deviation 287.35 95.00%
3 Standard Deviation 431.03 97.00%

The distribution of distances worked follows a fairly traditional “normal distribution” bell curve if the small number of very short distance contacts are ignored. However, this distribution is skewed because the lower “bins” are covering a smaller range that the larger distances. Nevertheless the distribution is similar to those seen in previous years.

Countries Worked

The tables below show the number of stations from each country with a specific breakdown for UK stations. The tables are generic allowing flexibility in the website code rather than aspirational in terms of the countries we expect to contact.
