G’day RSGB HFCC
Here are the two Australian teams for the Commonwealth Contest 2024.
Australia One
Kevin VK6T (VK6LW)
Barry VK2BJ
Allan VK2GR
Alan VK4M (VK4SN)
Bernd VK1A/4
Australia Two
Alan VK7BO
Phil VL6M (VK6GX)
Steve VJ3A (VK3JA)
Graeme VK5GG
Steve VL6T (VK6VZ)
We are delighted to welcome Graeme VK5GG to the teams for the first time. Graeme is an ex-RAAN telegraphist and a keen contributor to the CC over the last couple of years.
Our steadfast coordinator/MC Allan VK2GR has already submitted our list of HQ stations for this year’s event, which are as follows:
VK2WIA, Dave VK2WQ and Patrick VK2PN
VK3WIA, Lee VK3GK
VK4WIA, Keith VK4TT
VK5WIA, Grant VK5GR
VK6WIA, Peter VK6RZ
VK7WIA, Martin VK7GN
It is great to welcome back Martin VK7GN with his great CW operation and excellent station in Tasmania as VK7WIA, but sadly we have lost Andrew VK1WIA (VK1DA) in the ACT this year, owing to illness.
I’d like to pay tribute to Andrew who has provided the CC with this rare Australian state by his portable operation as VK1WIA for several years. We all hope you make a good recovery, Andrew.
Let’s hope for some excellent conditions – and a contest full of keen entrants.
