a wire antenna for Top-Band with him which should be a little better and
stronger for this band. However, he mentions that this is the rainy season,
with lots of lightning storms around the Lakeshore so please don't expect
miracles. Harry is already fairly active on RTTY and PSK31, but 7Q7AH hopes
to fill some gaps when Harry is busy. There is also a chance that John,
7Q7JL, will also visit the shack to transmit if the roads are okay to
drive on between the Lakeshore and Blantyre. QSL route is to G0IAS, DIRECT
ONLY, with sufficient funds for card return. NO return postage... NO return
card. Allan states, "Sorry people but postage is expensive in the UK...and
the managers pockets are only so deep.!"

to be active from Mayotte this week between February 26th and March 5th.
Mayotte counts as AF-027 for IOTA purposes. Both operators will use the
single callsign of FH/G3SWH. Their activity will be mainly on CW on all
bands 80-10 meters. There may be some 160 meters CW activity, but this
will be entirely subject to QRN, antenna space and local site conditions,
so there are no promises. Richard may also operate some RTTY towards the
end of the trip. Propagation permitting, they plan to have two stations
on the air for as many hours every day as is possible. Their main objective
is to work as many European, North American and ROTW stations on as many
bands as possible.  QSL via G3SWH, either direct with SAE and adequate
return postage (recommended), via Phil's Web site for a bureau reply or
via the bureau. There is more information at:
