Selvagens Island
The Ilhas Selvagens are situated at 30° 8'North and 15° 52'West, about 290km southeast of Madeira. The island is closer to the Canary Islands than to Madeira. The archipelago consists of Selvagem Grande, Selvagem Pequena and Ilheu de Fora and covers an area of about 2.7 sqkm. The main island is flat and about 100m a.s.l.
The islands were officially discovered by Infante Henrique in 1438 although there are signs that it was known already in the ancient times. Until 1971 Selvagens was privately owned by the "Rocha Machado" family then it was declared a nature sanctuary. Today it is manned by a few sentries that are relieved every two weeks.
Amateur radio: prefix CT3, belongs to Madeira. WAZ zone 33, ITU zone 36, Locator: IM20BD, IOTA reference AF-047, DIP reference, MA-004. This island is activated only very seldom e.g. CQ9S in July 2000.
