V4/G4FAL and V47CD

I will be operating from St Kitts in the Caribbean from Monday 3 March to Monday 10 March 2008. I will also be operating in the RSGB Commonwealth Contest with V47CD.

Sorry the RSGB Commonwealth Contest is for British Commonwealth Countries and Mandated Territories only - see http://www.contesting.co.uk/hfcc/rules/2008/rberu.shtml for full details and contest rules. The contest coincides with the British Commonwealth Day. If you are eligible to participate then please call, I would love to work you.

7Q7NT

I operated from Blantyre in the south of Malawi, using the callsign 7Q7NT, between 13 and 30 August 2003. Operation was on 40, 30, 20 and 15 metres, both on SSB and CW.

I used an FT897 with a 40 metre dipole and a doublet wire aerial.

Contacts were as listed below:
