Glorioso Island DXpedition team now active

The FT5GA team is now active.

The team had some antenna problems at first due to windy weather conditions and a faulty contact on a WARC Spiderbeam (which was fixed). Indications seem that all three stations are now on the air.

Most stateside stations report that the FT5GA signals are very weak and propagation is not helping.

Activity has been on all bands and the CW/SSB modes with some RTTY.

Operations will last until October 5th, per the Web page at:

Bob, N6TV, has reportedly put on his Web site some propagation tables (by bands and area) calculated by Dean, N6BV, and they are available at: http://www.kkn.net/~n6tv/ft5ga_prop.pdf

QSL Manager is F5OGL: Didier Senmartin, P.O. Box 7,
