Piate kolo súťaže Short Listening Period contest (SLP), ktoré sa uskutočnilo počas víkendu 10. – 11. júla 2010, brought other interesting results and confirmed the stable performance of several long-term participants. The summer period is usually characterized by fluctuating conditions on the bands, but despite this, experienced listeners were able to achieve high point gains.

Jednoznačným víťazom kola sa stal Vladimir R3A-847, ktorý s výsledkom 64 400 bodov confirmed his excellent form and long-term dominance in this year's series. In previous rounds, Vladimir has already demonstrated technical maturity and precision in the processing of logs several times - combined with stable results, this has earned him a significant lead in the overall ranking, where he is currently leading with a profit 173 069 bodov.
Na druhom mieste v júlovom kole skončil Bill W1-7897 s 26 660 bodmi. Bill is among the most active foreign participants in the SLP, and his consistent performances from the previous months (for example, 33,748 points in the third round or 36,312 in the second) keep him on celkovej druhej priečke s úctyhodným súčtom 110 033 bodov. Jeho pozorovania potvrdzujú, že pravidelná účasť a skúsenosť v podmienkach rôznych pásiem sú kľúčom k dlhodobému úspechu.

Tretie miesto v SLP5 získal Jozef OM3-0001, tradičný zástupca Slovenska, ktorý nazbieral 24 708 bodov. Tento výsledok mu pomohol upevniť tretie miesto v celkovom poradí so súčtom 77 407 bodov. For a long time, Jozef has been among the technically very precise participants, and his stable performances prove that even with a smaller number of active rounds, it is possible to maintain a high position.
Ďalšie priečky obsadili Jan NL6828 (13 455 bodov), Ad NL9745 (3 498 bodov) a Johan NL9723 (2,720 points). The Dutch entrants confirmed their traditionally strong presence in the SLP, with Jan moving up the overall standings with his consistent results in each round.
After the fifth round, the order at the top is relatively stable - Vladimir R3A-847 has built a safe lead, Bill W1-7897 holds the second place and Jozef OM3-0001 confirms the stable performance of Slovak listeners. The following rounds will decide whether the ranking will be maintained, or whether other experienced participants will join the fight for the top spots.
