[UK-CONTEST] Commonwealth Contest 2009

Would be DX Travellers

It is coming to the time of the year when folks traditionally plan and 
book next year's holidays.

Is anybody planning a DX-Pedition trip to an exotic Commonwealth venue 
for the BERU weekend? 
If so, and you would like to help boost the fortunes of the Rest-of-
the-World Team, please let me know.

Remember that there are many easy-to-reach venues in the Caribbean, 
and it's a great place to take the XYL for a holiday! So far I've not 
heard of plans for anybody to be QRV from J3, J6, V2, 9Y, (available by 
direct flights) or from VP2v, VP2m, VP2e, VP5 (need short inter-Island 
hops).  Holiday venues there to tempt anybody! 

Commonwealth Contest from afar is a very different experience to 
entering from the UK, with the possibility of "running" for extended 
periods when the bands open to UK or Canada, using simple equipment and 
antennas.
