The radio amateur year 2009 brings a good deal of tension within the framework SLP Contestu, where after six stages an unusually interesting fight for the top of the table is looming. Although the season is far from over, some names are already attracting attention with their performances and steady form.
He remains at the absolute top again Vladimir (R3A-847), which you with an incredible score 21,240 points in the sixth stage he consolidated his position as the leader. Grand total 157,728 points speaks plainly – Vladimir has dominated the competition from the early stages and his experience and precision in finding signals seems to guarantee him a firm place on the throne.
He is holding on to the second rung Bill (W1-7897) with a profit 11,780 points in the last stage and the total sum 71 182 points. Bill may be losing a significant number of points to Vladimir, but his consistent performance suggests that nothing is lost - just one strong stage and the standings can change dramatically.
The third place currently belongs to to Marc (ONL4638), who collected after an excellent performance in the sixth stage 9,717 points and in the overall ranking he moved to the bronze rank with 22,721 points. Marc is known for his endurance - although he had a slow start to the season, he is on full speed in the second half.
Other positions are equally interesting: Johan (NL9723) a Gosse (NL13181) they are fighting for the fourth place with a difference of only a few tens of points, while Joseph (OM3-0001) so far, he completes the top six with a solid performance 4,428 points in the last stage. Jozef is among the veterans of this competition and his returns to the top ten are already a tradition.
They follow them Gordon (GM21056) a Paul (ONL3058), who, despite the smaller number of stages, were able to show that even a smaller number of connections can be used to the maximum.
After six stages, the standings are open and everything indicates that the final rounds will bring even more twists and turns. Although the favorites are known, the history of the SLP has repeatedly shown that one weekend with good conditions is enough - and the standings can be turned upside down.
