> The Commonwealth Contest takes place on 9 and 10 March and the RSGB have donated
> one of the Centenary Keys for the prize draw. All stations that enter the
> contest and make at least 75 good QSOs after adjudication are entered into the
> free prize draw. This is a 24hour CW contest on the 10 to 80m bands. The
> exchange is simply a report and serial number and there is free software to make
> the logging, sending and entry very easy. Only QSOs between call areas in the
> Commonwealth count, so have a look at the call area list in the rules. Check out
