PS And there’s an idea how about some ‘remote Travellers’ ?

Australia Team 1

G’day

Australia Team 1 for the Commonwealth Contest 2021 will be:

1. Kevin, VK6LW
2. Barry, VK2BJ
3. John, VK4CT
4. Allan, VK2GR
5. Steve, VK6VZ

The representatives are the same as last year, which topped the team competition.

A ‘thank you’ goes to my fellow team members for once again agreeing to represent Australia – and, similarly, to those members of Australia Team 2.

I would also like to thank all in the HQ group who are representing the Wireless Institute of Australia in the Commonwealth Contest 2021, supporting the contest in seven Australian call areas.   

Very special thanks to Allan VK2GR, our overall coordinator, who organized the HQ group and also came up with the idea, adopted by the RSGB, of HQ stations across the globe being able to be operated by multiple operators sited remotely from each other, in these difficult times of Covid.

VA2RAC HQ

Hi Bob.   VA2RAC HQ  will again  be on the air for the BERU. We may run REMOTE  DISTRUBUTED  if I find other local operators.   A new Call History file for N1MM+ users is available on N1MM+ or when loading the contest module with command CHANGE in Associated Files.  The CHF will be updated until day before the contest.   73, Claude VE2FK

HQ station VE7RAC

Hi Bob,
I’ll be participating once again as HQ station VE7RAC. Last year I worked from VE7UF’s contest station with VA7VK and VA7KH. This year due to Covid it will be the home QTH with its attendant high noise level. Will do my best to give the RAC bonus to as many as I can.
