The IARU Region 1 ATV Contest was held on 13/14 June 2020. Due to travel restrictions in some countries caused by the COVID 19 Pandemic, the main scoring tables have been split into 2 sections.

Section 1 is for entrants who only operated from their home station address, whereas those operating from alternative addresses or portable locations entered Section 2. There were 92 entrants from 8 countries competing, using all bands from 432 MHz to 76 GHz.

The overall winner of Section 1 for fixed stations was Wim PE1EZU while Francesco IK3HHG won Section 2 and had the highest overall score. Propagation conditions appeared to be good across Southern Europe with a number of contacts (even on 3 cm) at over 200 km. The best DX was a 70 cm ATV Contact between F5AGO and F1CSY at 370 km.

Participation was much increased from last year (55 to 92), which is a very welcome sign.

The quality of the logs was not as good as previous years. Please could contestants try to use the most up-to-date spreadsheet, and double-check their logs – especially locators. I have corrected a number of errors where there were clearly valid contacts (exchange of 4-figure codes) but locators were mis-recorded, and a few scores have been changed.

Full results are presented in the following pages. The BATC 2m ATV contest results have also been included for information only.

Please don’t forget next year’s IARU ATV Contest on 12/13 June 2021.
