Comments: Including an entry in the RSGB Commonwealth Contest (13-14 March). The contest is for operators located within the Commonwealth or British Mandated Territories, so Nick says he "will be keen to work other stations" outside the BERU event. Activity is likely to be restricted to 80-10 metres CW, however if he can organise an aerial for 160m then he may be able to try some morning greyline contacts with Europe on CW on 15 or 16 March.
