FO/G35WH ---> This (FO/G3 five WH) is the call used by Phil, G3SWH during his
current operation [425DXN 634]. Apparently this is due to a typo on his

(www.ofcom.ch) has authorized Swiss operators who hold a CEPT Class 2 licence
to operate on all of the HF amateur radio bands without taking CW tests. [TNX
