Hi Bob,

Thanks your reply – so glad it got to you in the end!

We are planning to operate as a group of club members under the one call 9H1MRC, not individually.

Have received my visitors licence 9H3PS and hoping to do some SOTA before and after the contest weekend.

Looking forward to the visit and will on pass your regards to anyone we meet.

Thanks again and hope we QSO – wherever you are!

Nick, G4FAL, sent me this helpful clarification email for those of us going to places where internet access might be problematic.

“The log submission time for the Commonwealth Contest has been reduced from seven days in 2016 to five days in 2017. In the vast majority of cases this should be an adequate period of time for producing a Cabrillo file and uploading it to the RSGB robot. In the event that an entrant has exceptional circumstances that prevent them from uploading their log within the five days they may contact the contest adjudicator (insert adjudicator details) explaining their predicament and asking if an alternative arrangement can be agreed.

We have some very faithful entrants who have only submitted paper logs in the past; we have arranged a route by which they can continue to do this if they are still unable to submit logs online.”

Many thanks.

Kind Regards,

Nick Totterdell G4FAL,
