   Frankly, I am glad I worked FT5WJ years ago. To use those FT5 calls and to operate more or less only from /mm is nothing more than a puplicity show. The home-call F/TU5KG stands for never having passed a proper license either. How many QSOs have been made from one of the mentioned Islands by that person? I just know of various of 11 Meter activities from there, conducted by that very person. Reasonable DX´ers will not pay any serious attention to such irrelevant announcements.

   Unsolicited SPAM, Halvor. That’s what you’re posting, when you “forget” to mention your Ham call.

   Take a look to this link:
   http://open.salon.com/blog/rick_spilman/2010/06/12/abby_sunderland_rescued_by_french_fishing_vessel_ile_de_la_reunion

   and you’ll find people are there to work, primarily, and even occured to make a rescue of a shipwrecked person during their duties.

   You’ll find that those F/TU5KG is working hard down there, is not there to satisfy your ego in adding another DXCC to your collection.

   Maybe he has spare time for radio, /MM or not, so I simply would like to thank him for his activity. Of course no-one of the guys in TAAF has Ham radio for his primary task.

   To post this reasonably idiot comment, it’s another silly armchair criticism. You worked FT5WJ years ago, so you’re OK with your ego and DXCC. It’s enough to shut your mouth!
