80m Club Championships

About the Club Championships

The Club Championships started in 2004 to provide a platform for amateur radio clubs across the UK encourage contesting. Since then participation has increased as competition has hotted up.

The rules have been kept simple so that all stations can compete. Unlike the AFC contests all logs count towards the club's score. This provides an incentive for new contest operators to join in and also include operators that have difficulty putting up full sized aerials at home,

From the start Bristol CG were well positioned, but we started a winning run in 2007 which lasted until the split into Local and General Categories in 2012.

By 2011 there were several groups with members widely spread round the UK. So in 2012 the HF Contest Committee created two sections, one for Local groups that were all located within an 80 Km radius, and a General Section for those who wanted to compete at a mational level. As Bristol CG had several members further away we entered the General Section. In 2020 after an influx of new members in and around Bristol we felt the Local section better fits our distribution of members.

As our first year of entry in the Local Club section is getting under way this seems to have been a good decision.
