Home call G3RWF QRV Mar 13, Nov 13 Mar 14 and Nov/Dec 15. Located on outskirts of Kigali looking to the North. 2015 operation - have K3,KPA500 and hexbeam. No 6m or 160m - sorry Please do NOT ask me to check my log to see if you are in it unless you have first checked Club log and LOTW which are uploaded daily. Usual QSL arrangements - including OQRS via Clublog.
My card is shown here - sorry but I always look like that in the morning after a 40M pile-up! I do all my own QSLing and I do not use e-QSL.Bureau is also OK (but slow of course). 73 Nick G3RWF/9X0NH
