Our 2025 “Worked All Heckington” event has now ended. All 100 extended squares in IO92UX were activated.
The Awards
Congratulations to all of those who won an award and thanks to everyone who took part! Two stations (Gerry J and Andy R) won Diamond by working all 100 activations. This was very probably the first time in history that radio has been transmitted from all Heckington and they are probably the only two people to have spoken to someone by radio in all 100 squares!

Observed Reception Results
Here are the observed reception results (both ways) from Worked All Heckington. The methodology was not entirely scientific as the results were dependent on those taking part each week (which varied) and other variables. However, they do give an interesting indication of the best squares and worst squares for PMR446. As to be expected, results were poor in the centre of Heckington, and worst around The Windmill, Bramley Close, Millers Way and the South West corner of Great Hale.
