Bob,
Does anyone have an up to date country file for N1MM+ for BERU? The one I can find is cty-BERU-20150131.dat and it doesn’t include the latest members (Gabon, Togo, maybe others?).

G’day
Australia is again fielding two national teams in the Commonwealth Contest 2023 Team Competition.
Australia 1 Team will consist of:
VK6LW (using VK6T)
VK2GR
VK4SN
VK2BJ
VK6VZ
Australia 2 Team will consist of
VK7BO
VK3JA (using VJ3A)
VK6GX (using VL6M)
VK2PN
To Be Arranged
In regard to Australia 2, I will let you know our final participant by early March, preferably before 4 March.
There is someone who I hope/want to be able to take part but he can’t commit until this time, owing to whether the necessary antennas are working/available.
Our HQ station and overall coordinator Allan VK2GR has already secured HQ stations for VK1 to VK6, all using the WIA suffix, but will confirm this independently shortly.
Despite Allan’s hard work, it looks like we will have to probably forgo HQ stations for VK7 and VK8 this year,

After last year’s travels from Uk to Gozo in the campervan with all the gear we plan to have a more relaxing time from near Paphos this year. Sadly Colin 9H4CT has passed away after helping last year. He will be sorely missed for visitors to Gozo.
Hopefully I will have the ‘suitcase verticals’ at a good location for the contest, despite the silly baggage allowance on easyjet.
Another low power restricted entry but I hope for good propagation on 10m from 5B.

Hi Bob,
Happy to report that the Quake Contesters are entering a team again for the 2023 running of BERU. Paul zl4tt will be absent as he will be away but his place will be taken by Roger zl2rx.
We do not know as yet whether there will be an NZART HQ station, zl6hq this year. I am sure that Geoff, zl3ga who is the NZART contest manager will be in contact in due course.
Looking forward to this as always – trust all is well with you.
