<H1>12 year-old YL operator 10th in UK in WW WPX Contest </H1>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>Newly-licenced radio amateur<STRONG> Angel Armstrong,
M6APA</STRONG> was the operator, along with her father <STRONG>Eric,
M6EKA</STRONG> as her logger, in the recent WW WPX Contest held on March 27-28
2010. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>Angel was very nervous as she had only passed her Amateur
Radio Foundation licence exam one week before the contest.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>After a slow start to the contest, Angel was soon up to
speed, keeping her father busy. At times, he was even having difficulty keeping
the log up to date.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>Angel kept pace with the incoming calls with the confidence
of someone with more experience and years.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>Their equipment was not at all sophisticated, a
<STRONG>TS440 with 10w into a G5RV</STRONG> with a North/ South orientation. But
the results for this new radio amateur, operating from her home QTH in Hull
E,Yorks, where outstanding.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>Results in the WW CPX were: </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>World 517th out of 1464 <BR>Europe 322th out of 738 <BR>And
in the UK 10th out of 28. <BR>With a total score of 92,700 points</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>All the members at her local club HADARS - Hull and
District Amateur Radio Society are very proud of her achievement. The club meet
on a Friday evening 7:30, at the Walton St Leisure Centre in
Hull</FONT></P></DIV></BODY></HTML>
