MW5W CQWW Phone contest (October 27th - 28th 2007)

Over the weekend of the CQWW Phone contest (October 27th - 28th 2007) members of the Wythall Radio Club and Contest Group, along with some friends, will be on the air from a group members farm on the Pembrokeshire coast, West Wales. We will be using the clubs call MW5W and some of the operators will be on the air before the contest signing their own call, for example G1VDP will become GW1VDP, from the Farm. G1VDP will also be operating some CW and DATA from the location in the days before the contest
