FT5GA – Glorioso Dxpedition 2009Tuesday Jun 09, 2009
*UPDATED PRESS RELEASES CAN BE FOUND HERE*
Press Release – June 9, 2009
Website
The Glorieuses 2009 team gathered at Frank??s F4AJQ last weekend, June 6 and 7, with some F6KOP Team members.
During these two days, all the time was spent to tune the antennas, to teach the Dxpeditioners about their settings, and to cordinate all of the packages.
Finally, 4 complete stations, with each at least 800 watts PA will be settled on Glorioso main island, to be active as close as possible 24h a day.
The antenna farm will consist of 2 Spiderbeam 10-15-20 ?? an other for 12-17-30 ?? An Inverted L for 160m, one V10, one V80 and one HF2V 80-40. Some other vertical elements are packed too; so is also a K9AY array receiving system.
A 6 meters station will monitor the Magic band, but only into a G5RV.
The complete crew (we hope it will not change) consists of : F5IRO Freddy ?? F5PRU Yves ?? F5RQQ Jean-Marc ?? F5TLN Sylvain – F4EGS Philippe and three SIRPA agents : Florence (YL) journalist, Yann director and cameraman and Didier cameraman and sound engeneer
We thank a lot Jeff F6AOJ, Floyd N5FG, Toshi JA1ELY, Mike UA??ME, & Lee ZL2AL who will be our pilot stations.
Floyd N5FG & Jeff F6AOJ were more than ever making big efforts in the back office, thanks again..
The Dxpedition is planned for July 9 to 28, 2009.

About the callsign :
For the first time, Gloriosos will be active under the new French Antarctic and Australes Territories (TAAF) regulation so the callsign claimed is: FT5GA - for which the confirmation is pending.
From the year 2005, the ??Iles Eparses ?? – Gloriosos, Tromelin, Juan da Nova and Europa – are now put under the TAAF authority.
The future callsigns will be issued as follow:
- FR/G becomes FTxG Gloriosos
- FR/E becomes FtxE, Europa
- FR/T becomes FTxT, Tromelin
- FR/J becomes FTxJ, Juan da Nova
- No change for FTxW (Crozet), FTxY (Terre Ad?Šlie), FTxX (Kerguelen) et FTxZ (Amsterdam)

Well I read that announcement very carefully. It seems that weight of the equipment is restricted when I see what antennas are to be used. The antennas for HF will do the job. BUT for 50MHz a G5RV is very useless. If weight is restricted a “Big Wheel” or a 5/8 wl vertical will do a much better job! Little gain and working all directions. If needed I can spend a vertical. AND FR/G has the most beautiful beach I’ve ever seen. GL and hope for a 50MHz qso.
Hi 2ALL!
Hope to wkd this pedition on all bands. incl. 160 and 80!
Please, look for East EU (Russia, Ukraine, Belorussia etc)
Best regards, safety trips!
