    S.A.R.T.G. Worldwide AMTOR Contest 1994 Results
    -----------------------------------------------

    Poor conditions spoiled this contest with only 27 contest logs and 
    3 check logs submitted.  We will give major placegetters only, but 
    will include some comments as well.

    Single op  - all bands         7 MHz           14 MHz        
    ----------------------         -----           ------

    Comments
    --------
    G0ARF:  It  was  very hard to find new contacts due to  very  poor 
    propagation,  but we have to take it as it comes and make the most 
    of it. A lot of patience was required this year.

    G4ZKJ: Pactor seems to be taking its toll of stations that were on 
    Amtor which is a pity.

    GW4KHQ: Thanks for the opportunity to try something new. Cuagn.

    VP5JM:  The conditions for me were very poor -- a real shame  -- I 
    enjoyed  this  contest last year but this year the results as  you 
    can see were terrible.

    LZ1MC: My first Amtor contest. 

    ZL2JON: I have only been operating for 17 months, and never have I 
    heard  the  band so quiet.  It has not improved in the  few  weeks 
    since the contest either.
