Commonwealth National Radio Societies<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The National Societies in Australia (WIA), Canada (RAC), UK (RSGB), India (ARSI), New Zealand (NZART) and South Africa (SARL) have established a Committee to be the custodians of the Commonwealth Contest. The Committee has been named the \u201cEvans Committee\u201d after the winner of the 1931 event \u2013 Trevor Evans, VK2NS.
\nThere is no reason why other national societies may not join this initial group and we hope this will be the case in the future.
\nAs a part of this joint venture we have made a commitment to promote the international contests that each National Society sponsors and here we are including some information and links to Commonwealth National Society websites. We encourage RSGB members to take part in the contests organised by our Commonwealth friends.<\/p>\n
