11/09/2009: The FT5GA team will depart Paris on 11 September,
destination St. Denis, Reunion Island. The date for the military flight
to Glorioso will be announced as soon as FASZOI (the French Armed Forces
in the South Indian Ocean Zone) confirm it. The team will remain on
Grande Glorieuse for about three weeks, and the return flight from
Reunion to Paris will be on 8 October.
A Ham radio team of military operators along with two reporters from
SIRPA are going to activate Grande Glorieuse island (AF-011, DIFO
FR-004, WW Loc. LH38PK) during September, for 3 weeks. The video
reporter team has to make several footages and documentaries, the main
one about the DXpedition itself. They are going to work from 160 to 6
meters, in as many modes as possible. The callsign will be FT5GA. The
team will use four stations active 24/7 (three on the HF bands and one
on 6 meters). Leader and QSL manager will be Didier, F5OGL. QSL direct
or via the French REF Bureau. Operators will be Yves/F5PRU,
Bernard/F5LPY, Jean-Marc/F5RQQ, Freddy/F5IRO, Philippe/F4EGS and
Sylvain/F5TLN. They hope to put the log online every day and Rafik will
update it as soon as possible. Further information can be found at:

FT/G, GLORIOSO ISLAND (Update). Didier, F5OGL, Glorioso 2009 team leader,
sent out a press release (dated September 7th - edited by OPDX) stating
that the FT5GA team (which includes Didier/F5OGL, Yves/F5PRU and Franco/
F4EVR) picked up 291 kg of gear (transceivers, PAs, power supplies,
antennas, masts and miscellaneous stuff). It was delivered to Mr. Alain
Lefellec, the export freight manager of the "Logfret Inc." (international
freight service), located at "Roissy Charles de Gaulle Airport". The team
thanks him for his kind reception and his help to make this expedition a
success. Two pallets of equipment will fly tomorrow to the Reunion Island,
where they will be transported by the freight service to the Air Force
Base 181. The team now has in their hands the authorization to transmit
on the Radio Amateur Service bands, from Grande Glorieuse. The document
of authorization can be viewed at the bottom of the "Glorieuses 2009"
Web page at: http://glorieuses2008.free.fr/index-e.htm

CORRECTION DEPARTMENT. The were two small errors in OPDX.924 under
"FT/G, GLORIOSO ISLAND (Update)". The original line states, "As the
FR5GA team departs from Reunion Island on September 11th this week
to head to Glorioso Island,", it should have stated "As the FT5GA
team departs from Paris, France, on September 11th this week to head
to Glorioso Island".
