Rádioamatérsky rok 2009 prináša poriadnu dávku napätia v rámci 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.
Na absolútnom vrchole sa opäť drží Vladimir (R3A-847), ktorý si s neuveriteľným skóre 21 240 bodov v šiestej etape upevnil svoju pozíciu lídra. Celkový súčet 157 728 bodov 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.

Na druhej priečke sa drží Bill (W1-7897) so ziskom 11 780 bodov v poslednej etape a celkovým súčtom 71 182 bodov. 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.
Tretie miesto aktuálne patrí Marcovi (ONL4638), ktorý po výbornom výkone v šiestej etape nazbieral 9 717 bodov a v celkovom poradí sa posunul na bronzovú priečku s 22 721 bodmi. Marc is known for his endurance - although he had a slow start to the season, he is on full speed in the second half.
Ďalšie pozície sú rovnako zaujímavé: Johan (NL9723) a Gosse (NL13181) zvádzajú vyrovnaný boj o štvrté miesto s rozdielom len niekoľkých desiatok bodov, zatiaľ čo Jozef (OM3-0001) zatiaľ uzatvára prvú šestku so solídnym výkonom 4 428 bodov in the last stage. Jozef is among the veterans of this competition and his returns to the top ten are already a tradition.

Za nimi nasledujú 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.
