UPDATE:

Rachid reactivated St. Brandon Island as 3B7FQ in Aug-Sept '09.  While sharing on-air time with maintenance duties at the meteorological station on the island, approximately 1,700 QSOs were made.  Very modest equipment & antennas were used, with battery power.  Rachid believes this may be the last operation from St. Brandon for the next several years.

He hopes to reactivate Agalega Island as 3B6FQ again in November '09. The trip to 3B9FQ for July '09 did not materialize. 

QSL 3B7FQ / 3B8FQ / 3B6FQ via K5XK, per instructions below.
