They will operate on HF Bands.

Information from their QRZ page:
The Guayaquil Radio Club was founded on May 9, 1923 in an era in which wireless telegraphy was a novelty, although it was used from the beginning of the century in coastal stations and ships at sea.
The installation of the wireless telegraphy in the captaincy of the port during 20s owes to the captain of the port, Geo Chambers, who decided to encourage experimentations with this means of communication.
Thus a club was created that is currently the 10th Association of the oldest radio clubs in the world and the fourth oldest in America. Since the times of its founding members, the club has dedicated its efforts to experience and promote amateur radio in the country.
The club membres, both Ecuadorian and foreign, were instrumental in the exploration of high frequency bands possibilities, better known as HF. They also pioneered VHF and UHF communications in the Ecuador.
