SRCC LEAGUE TABLE – APRIL 2025
There were five entries for April 2025, the same as in March (although one of them was a null entry) and all from the “usual suspects”. The monthly listing is as follows:
| ENTRANT? | WORKED DXCC / SQUARE? | WORKED?? SRCC MEMBER? | WORKED IN CONTEST? | POINTS?THIS MONTH? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ?M0CGF | 189 | 8 | 286 | |
| G4FFY | 47 | 39 | 133 | |
| M0LEP | 14 | 1 | 30 | |
| G4FYF? | 11 | 1 | 24 | |
| G3WRR | 0 |
Ian M0CGF has moved up to first place swapping places with Ray G4FFY who moves down to second, and Rick M0LEP up two places moving Steve G4FYF and Quin G3WRR down one place each to fourth and fifth.
The following notes are provided by the entrants…
M0CGF: I have just returned from 2 weeks in Greenland, still a tad chilly over there!! No radio this time. Maybe back over in June. Photos at http://www.flickr.com/iesphotography. Highlights this month on 6m, 3x ZS for a new DXCC on the band.
G4FFY: Operating opportunities were down in April 2025 due to the start of the dog agility camping session. On VHF I was only activate in the 2m UKACs and FT8 contests. On HF I operated in the April HF FT4 Contest, did a small amount of FT8 on 10m from home, and some 40m FT8 from the Motorhome when camped in Alrewas Showground (near Tamworth, Staffordshire). DXCC’s worked has increased to 167 during April with working Sri Lanka (4S7AB on 10m FT8) and Norfolk Island (VK9DX on 10m FT8).
G4FYF: Blimey, where did April go? Perhaps a weaselly way of saying my log this month was much less than impressive! 10 meters seemed to have dimmed, at least at the times I monitored. So all on 7 & 14 MHz with nothing worthy of note.
M0LEP: I’m now back from Australia. I did get some opportunities to operate, always in a light-weight portable manner. I wasn’t running more than ten or twelve watts and Western Australia’s quite a distance from anywhere, but I did manage a few more countries in April than in March. All the DXCCs apart from LA were contacted from Western Australia, hence the Eastern Hemisphere bias. The FR was with a SOTA activator on Reunion, and I also contacted one SOTA activator near Canberra, but sadly no SOTA from ZL.
G3WRR: Null entry – again! Must try harder ☹
The cumulative annual results are as follows: No change in positions since last month.

After last summer’s glory period in which the Solar Flux Index (SFI) substantially overshot the predictions, things have swung the other way and the SFI is now significantly lower than current predictions. CW FD next weekend will be an interesting test of the effect of that on HF conditions!
