Following the close of nominations and judging, The RSGB RAYNET Cup for 2005/6 has been awarded to GWENT RAYNET.

The Cup is awarded annually to the RAYNET Group (of whatever affiliation), deemed to have rendered exceptional service or enhancement to amateur radio emergency communications during the period following the previous award.

This time the award is presented to the GWENT RAYNET GROUP under their Controller, Kevin Snelling, GW7BSC, in recognition of:

"....the substantial work done by them in Tunnel communications, proving through a series of User Service exercises, that the use of 23cm works effectively in a number of Tunnels - thus gaining more interaction, support and confidence of the User Services and in doing so, significantly enhancing the image of RAYNET and Amateur Radio as a whole......"

The submissions were judged by a small panel comprising of representatives from The Radio Amateurs' Emergency Network ('The Network') and the Radio Society of Gt. Britain (RSGB). Runners-Up were the North Dyfed RAYNET Group, under their Controller, Dave Mansell, GW8SFT.
