SPECIAL EVENT STATIONS
GB2AFG - (Armed Forces Guernsey). 18th - 26th June 2011
Mike, GU3WHN tells us "The call sign has been granted the
RSARS number F313 and I will endeavour to come on as many bands and modes as
my time permits. CW will be at a boring 15 or so words per minute but I
will, as always, do my best. Rag chewing may not be an option."

serious consideration.

5X1NH
"Returning to Uganda on 20 February and returning on 15 April. Hope to work a few more members than my last trip! Please look on the usual RSARS QRGs (start with CW) - you may also find me up 11 or up 25 from the bottom edge of a band. I will have a small linear which may improve SSB opportunities - although taken specifically for the low bands. If you have worked me as member 293 here is your chance to get an affiliated number point - or just a welcome chat!"
