DX news FR/G Glorioso isl on the air !!!!!!

Hi all,

Most of you must have read the annoucement that TO4G (FR/G Glorioso) will be on the air next July for almost 3 weeks (9th to 28th of July, including 3 week-ends !!!!!!!) : http://glorieuses2008.free.fr/

This long expected expedidtion was delayed because this is a military French base in the Indian ocean, because meteorological conditions are quite tough, and because they need the Army to go there !!!!!
But the team was perseverant and finally succeeded in planning this trip !

In terms of pile-up, I guess they will be Huge...FR/G is ranked in 4th position of the most wanted DXCC. It will be hard to go through the pile-ups, but I hope I'll do it at least once for this All Time New One for me (I couldn't be active last time in 2003). Harder than FR/G, P5, 7O and KP1....Needless to make any comment there !!!!

With my modest equipment, I hope to get them on at least 20/17/15m...40m would be a bonus, and 80m a dream....But I'll do my best for sure (as all of us I guess !)

They'll use a nice equipement, Spiderbeams + linear on the high bands, 4-square + liner on 40m.

Let's hope first of all that they'll have a safe trip there, and that they'll listen to French small pistols in the zoo of worldwide big guns.....

Good luck to all
