Hi all, As I told, I've been on the low bands yesterday night after some friend's party. I did call FT5GA on 40m even if he was VERY weak, but not sure he got my call 100%. I put a remark in my log "to check on-line log"...And today, after the 2nd update...
Lire la suiteHi all, Well, as a French, the operator gave us 10 minutes on a different frequency(generally a french department) for "F" stns only. Remember, Glorioso IS a French island. I decided to try in QRP with my 5W after a few French stations, he got my call...
Lire la suiteHi all, Well, yesterday night, I came back home at 00:00z and went on the low bands to chase FT5GA. I did hear them on 80m (5/5 in the peaks), but they didn't listen to me. Same on 40m where their report was even lower. But I tried to call and I think...

Lire la suiteHi all, Just a short message to say I well received ZA0/I0SNY for our 40m QSO. I just need ZA to be confirmed on 12/15m to close this entity here (I contacted ZA1E on those 2 bands, just waiting the QSL now, HI) 73 Ronan, F8AFC
Lire la suiteHi all, All of you must know that today will start FT5GA from Glorioso, for a 3 week-long expedition. This is the most wanted entity # 4, and for sure, it will make a lot of noise on the air. - My personal goal is to get them at least once, whatever the...
