Thanks Bob. A quick update on the situation so far with regard to UK HQ stations at Jan 23rd….
We have takers for the following:-
GI6XX – (GI4DOH)
GM6XX – (GM3WUX)
GW6XX – (GW4XUM)
GB5CC – (GM3WOJ)
All the others are still available including G6XX.
I’ve been making some personal approaches with a view to widening participation. Quite limited and often difficult to refuse those regulars who are super keen. GW is looking up with the arrival of a couple of keen contesters to this side of Offa’s Dyke.

I will be away for this year’s contest but VE7RAC will be active by Steve VA7KH and Larry VE7EA, both superb CW ops.
They will operate from the station at the University of Victoria Radio Lab using a K4 plus linear and multi element Optibeam. Hopefully propagation will be good and new records set.
