(Araucaria) NEWS - FT5GA Gloriosos 2009

[André Berzotti]

*September 14, 2009*

The FT5GA team landed safe on late Saturday, at Saint Denis de la Reunion
Airport. While this week end, the members of the crew spent some time to
check and finalize the laptops and the Wintest soft. They were heard doing
that on the bands, barefoot, on Sunday using CW and RTTY, from
Sainte-Clotilde.

This morning the departure to Mayotte is scheduled around 09:00 local time.
Then they will fly to Glorieuses, were they are expected to land around the
end of the afternoon. To night I’ll call them by satellite cell phone to
know approximately when they will begin to traffic.

The Higher Authorities of the Territory and the other from the French Forces
presence on the island, may delayed that a little bit. So it seems
reasonable to expect the first signals on Tuesday in the morning. (GMT time)

By the way I will thank all of our pilots and friends who are ready QRV to
collect all the useful information to permit us the best traffic
organization. Jeff, F6AOJ did a good job and send it us, about propagations
predictions, Floyd is ready to receive and transmit us all what will be
useful for the Whole American Continent. We know the poor conditions to day
for the FT/G/Americas way so with the pilot help we will try to be as top as
possible for them. This morning, Lee, ZL2AL sent us some predictions for the
VK/ZL area. The Middle and Far Asian observation are awaited, and will come
soon.

The FT5GA has the chance to offer you a rare possibility to get the 4th Most
Wanted country (The last time was in the 1999/2000); Could we ask the Ham
community to don’t mess up the party ?
Please hear and hear before coming in the pile up. The operators will give
also some instructions while beeing behind laptops, keys and mikes. They
have received strict orders to keep the traffic under their control.

The logbooks will be able as soon as possible on the Web page at : *

Rafik, F5CQ our webmaster, will update as often as possible, receiving
conditions permitting. Thank to him too for the big job done in the past and
for that he will have to do in the next days.

So beam your antennas, keep your ears and rigs ready. The crew members are
motivated as ever and they will do all their best to make all of you happy.
