The Winner takes all !
Well, I would never, ever have been able to anticipate the winners in this
contest. And they were all so close too. Rather like Formula 1
racing, it
pays to put an entry into every contest. The winner gets the choice of a
Paul Hayes QFH or a Short Wave Magazine Subscription, AND a bumper prize
from NOAA, second gets whatever the first guy doesn't want !
So here are the results :-
Contest 1 did not really exist, and it's where it all started.
First number total contest 2 results 5 Sept
Second number total contest 3 results 18 Sept
Third number total contest 4 results 12 Oct
Fourth number total contest 5 Dec 11 results
Fifth number total best image results
6th number total overall points for this year

So guys, that's it for this year, thanks to :-
All those who took part
Julian Moss for starting rig-l and generously letting me be co-moderator
Paul Hayes for all his extremely hard work providing web hosting
NOAA for freely giving their satellites to the world
Paul Hayes for donating a QFH
Timestep for donating a Short Wave Magazine subscription
NOAA for giving a bumper prize
Short Wave Magazine (Lawrence Harris) for printing so much about us
Discussions on the equipment used and suggestions for improvement are
welcome and could be very fruitful. Over to you ...
So now is the time for all good men to go forth, and assemble better
antennas, reduce cable losses, get filters flatter, and to boldly go where
no weather satellite enthusiasts has been before. May the force be with
you; the truth is out there somewhere ?
Merry Christmas and may your god be with you.
Regards
Dave
