FT5GA

Hi friends

Official release:

GLORIOSOS 2009 and Magic band.

The propagation forecast for the Magic band from Gloriosos is very bad at the expedition time, quite in all directions.

Taking advice from 6 meters specialists , they inform us that chances to give FT5GA to world hams are very low and even less.

The only one antenna available is a 2 el HB9CV, with no other possibility to bring an or several other more efficient one(s), included for EME; So it has been considered we had to focus on HF bands.

So we sadly decided to concentrate our activity only from 160 to 10 meters..

We ask the 6m community to understand our decision.
