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.

Bill Moore, NC1L

The 7O1YGF-ONLY submission is free. LoTW notes a submission fee (automatically) and I have no control over this. When I process the submission the fee is waived. The 'payment by mail' notation is to avoid having the fee being charged, accidentally.

If you click 'payment by mail' you do not need to enter your credit card information

Note: This free submission offer will end on December 31, 2009. After this, applicants can include 7O1YGF with their regular 2010 submission.
