We are repeating the successful running of regional UK headquarter stations in 2019 using the RSGB Contest Club calls. I’m attempting to emulate Iain M0PCB in organising these after he moved to the US for work and following is the present of state of play with the allocation of the various permutations of G*6XX. In addition the RSGB Contest Club has recently resurrected the call G3DR which at one time in the distant past was used to represent the RSGB in the Scottish Highlands; GM3DR will be active in Beru as an additional HQ station.
G6XX – G4FNL
GD6XX – to be confirmed
GI6XX – GI4DOH
GJ6XX – not yet allocated
GM6XX – GM0NAI
GU6XX – not yet allocated
GW6XX – GW0ETF
GM3DR – GM3WOJ
GB5CC – G4FAL
I’m still looking for operators to fill the ‘not yet allocated’ slots as well as cover for those yet to be confirmed.

There remain 3 unfilled HQ slots for the Commonwealth Contest on March 9/10th.
These are GD6XX, GJ6XX and GU6XX. These are bonus stations and can additionally be worked by any Gx, Mx and 2x call which increases the level of activity significantly. HQ stations are classed as multi-op and will ideally operate for the whole 24 hours and on all contest bands 10m-80m. However rather than having no activity from these regions at all I’d be happy to hear from anyone willing and able to operate part time and/or on restricted bands.
Anyone taking on one of these calls will need to be a full licensee and a member of the RSGB Contest Club which is free to join – see https://rsgb.org/main/radio-sport/rsgb-contest-club/ – please email myself direct if interested. Preference will naturally be given to anyone able to operate the whole contest on all bands, and Intermediate/Foundation licensees will be able to operate under supervision.
