[UK-CONTEST] BERU multi-op entries?

[Colin Wilson]

One thing to remember with the Commonwealth contest is that there will be a 
fair bit of DX available only to "Commonwealth stations" so you could catch 
a rare one or two that during normal conditions you may not be heard!

I look forward to working your club station during the contest from Grenada!
