The german results of the July contest are out. The scores on 2m were surprisingly low, so that we were only 55k points behind the winner. On the other bands, the margins were much bigger, and on 3cm DL0GTH and DM7A outclassed their competition by scoring more than 5 times more points than the runner-up on place 3. Impressive! In the german contest trophy, we could secure our 4th place behind DL0GTH, DM7A and DF0MTL. It looks like as if the 4th place will be for us this year.

The german June contest results have been published. We achieved 3rd places on 23cm and 13cm behind DM7A and DL0GTH, and a 5th place on 3cm. Not bad! In the german contest trophy, we strengthened our 4th place behind DL0GTH, DM7A and DF0MTL.

The may results are out, and we are ranked like expected: Below-average on 2m, good on 70cm, normal on 23, last place on 13cm, and normal on 3cm. In the german contest-trophy, we are on a safe 4th place behind DL0GTH, DM7A and DF0MTL.

The results of the 2006 IARU Reg. I VHF contest are out. We achieved a satisfying 19th place out of 205 participants.

The German March results are out. We achieved satisfying ranks (3 to 5) on each band. A change of rules (club- or contest-calls can now enter the single operator category when operated by a single operator, previously they had to enter multi-op in any case) leads to a lower number of participants in the MO sections, unfortunately.

In the German contest trophy intermediate results, we are ranked on the 4th place only slightly behind DF0MTL.

The (preliminary) results of the 2004 IARU Region I VHF contest are out, processed by the OESV. We (as DL0RTA) scored a nice 15th place out of 304 multi-OP participants. Not bad.

The (german) October results are out. While DL0GTH and DM7A sported some very impressive scores, behind them the scores quickly shrunk, so that we could achieve some nice ranks although we only achieved around 1/3 of the scores of DL0GTH or DM7A.

Results of DR5A:

• 70cm: Place 5 of 58 Participants
• 23cm: Place 5 of 37 Participants
• 13cm: Place 4 of 17 Participants
• 3cm: Place 7 of 13 Participants

In the german contest trophy, we stayed on place 5 of 249 multi-op participants, but could shave off much of the gap to the 4th place, and put some more points between us and the 6th place. It is very unlikely that the top 10 will change after the evaluation of Marconi CW contest, so this will be the final result of 2006, too:

1. DL0GTH: 7847
2. DM7A: 7556
3. DF0YY: 7099
4. DF0MTL: 5791
5. DR5A: 5724
6. DL0V: 5556
7. DK0NA: 5357
8. DM0Y: 5278
9. DK0PU: 4005
10. DK0ZB: 3916

After the September IARU contest, the top of the German contest trophy (multi-op section) looks like this:

1. DL0GTH: 6113
2. DM7A: 5794
3. DF0YY: 5584
4. DF0MTL: 4633
5. DR5A: 4509
6. DL0V: 4394

So we have got roughly the same distance up to DF0MTL and down to DL0V, and it is unlikely (although not impossible), that the ranking will change after October UHF contest. The Marconi contest will not change anything at all, so i looks like as if we will end up in the 5th place this year.

The DARC published the german results of the September 144 MHz contest. We finished in 7th place out of 82 multi-op participants, which is quite satisfying.The score of DR9A is really impressive, the best score since 2000 at least.

The german July results are out. No top-3-results for us this time, but a nice 4th place on 70cm, and satisfactory results on the other bands. In the german contest trophy, we secured our 5th place and even shaved some points off the distance to the 4th place.
