[Fists] COMMONWEALTH CONTEST - 2006

[FISTS Down Under]

COMMONWEALTH CW CONTEST 2006

Open to stations licensed in Britain and Commonwealth Mandated Territories
ONLY

If you intend participating in this very popular CW Contest this coming
weekend, you may be interested to know that the following Headquarters
Stations will be active VK4WIA (W.I.A.-Australia) and ZL6A (N.Z.A.R.T. - New
Zealand - manned by FISTS members Ken, ZL1AIH #9094 and John, ZL1BHQ #
9625). In addition the Quartz Hill Station in Wellington will be on as ZL6QH
(Brian, ZL1AZE # 9078).

A request has been made that Jakey, ZL2JKY / G3JKY operate the FISTS New
Zealand Headquarters Station, ZL6FF during this contest, however this has
still to be confirmed,

There you are, plenty of extra multipliers on this year and no doubt more
Down Under members will appear if only to hand out a few points. With the
low sunspot activity I shall be very interested to see the results on 80 and
40 Metres, which I expect will exceed all expectations.

Regards,
Nigel Hardy, ZL2TX # 9040
