Phil G3SWH and Richard G3RW will QRV from the island Mayotte from February 26 to March 5, 2009 mainly CW in bands 80 to 10m. They will use the brand together FH/G3SWH. They do not rule out activity at 160m a RTTY.
Both will try above all to give interested parties the best possible chance to QSO and therefore they will have two stations in operation most of the time.
