3B7 - DXpedition to
St. Brandon
(Isle du Sud, AF-015)

G3USR, GM3POI, N6HC, K3NA, G4TSH, G3XTT, G3SVL, G3NHL, G3IZD, G3BJ, G0OPB, EI5DI, DL7AKC, DK7YY, 9M6DXX, SM5GMZ, MD0CCE, G3NUG, as well as N6OX will be active September 7th (0000 UTC) through September 24th with twelve stations simultaneously.

There will be monobanders for 30 through 6m and verticals for the lowbands.

On August 12th the container arrived on Mauritius with six big (5 kVA) Diesel generators. They also looked for a special authorization for 6m, usually not available on Mauritius. Three fixed frequencies have been authorised for them: 50.090 (CW), 50.102 (CW), and 50.145 MHz (USB).

After uploading the logs to their website www.3b7c.com, their software will show the 30 top DXers with the biggest amount of bandpoints (= QSOs in CW, RTTY, PSK, SSB and FM per band).

Feedback messages can be sent by e-mail to 3b7c@g3wgv.com and will be made available to the team on a daily basis.

QSL via Neville, G3NUG, direct or via bureau or by LoTW. There will be an online QSL request on their web page too.
SWLs will have BRS32525 for a seperate QSL manager.

They will use split frequence for nearly all QSOs on these frequencies:
