License in-hand, Rachid / 3B8FQ, expects to activate St. Brandon Isl., AF-015, for almost two weeks, from Friday, Jan. 30, until Thursday, Feb. 12th.

The callsign will be 3B7FQ. This will primarily be a working trip for maintenance on the meteorological station on St. Brandon, with on-air operations as time allows.

Rachid expects the 30, 20 & 17 Meter bands to be the most productive, but will try all bands, 80-10M.

Rachid will use CW & SSB. On CW, look for Rachid near the bottom of the band, "on the 8's" such as 10.108, 14.008, and 18.078MHz. He will be using 100W and a G5RV.

Plans are to be QRV later in the year as 3B9FQ while on holiday, in July '09.

QSL 3B7FQ / 3B8FQ / 3B6FQ & 3B9FQ via K5XK, per instructions on QRZ.com
