15 contestants and 15 votes cast. With a tie at the top, some deliberation is required. The judges (ok, the "s" is spurious) will ponder and be back with the result within the hour.

It was a tough decision for your hostess with the mostest here, but the results are in. The word to be clued had several definitions, enticing a whopping 15 setters to try their hand. Seven of those received a single vote for their entries. Well done, gentlemen.

Tied with four votes each were Mattrom and Geting. I learned something new - Estuary English. I'm still trying to wrap my head around Thames being pronounced "tems," but now I see that Estuary English in the clue was indeed brilliant.

This was a really tough call, and if I could declare a joint winner, I would, but ultimately, I loved the clever double duty of "on the radio" and "decode" and the broader appeal to all of us English-speaking weirdos, so the gold goes to Mattrom for her

Decode over the radio? (5)

Congratulations mattrom (and apologies geting, but your consolation is a silver AND a bronze). Here are your prizes:

I couldn't resist a math(s) video:

Congrats mattrom - hard luck geting. Thanks darla.

I'm baffled why someone thought it worth writing a NATO alphabet song for children!

Congrats Mattrom, very neat and many thanks to Darla. Years ago, I had to do a VHS radio exam to quality as a Yachtmaster.

Thanks to Swarbs for voting for my ‘unopened salted nuts’, much appreciated.

“Over”…
