PRESS RELEASE:
>From Didier, F5OGL, team leader Gloriosos 2008-08-13
Beginning of Didier’s text:
Hi,
Considering numerous rumours spread by non authorized hams about the
datesof the next Gloriosoe 2008 dxpedition, I think I have to give some
information to avoid any more errors.
On the island, the anti-cyclonics shelters building is nearly
finished. The taking over of the French Army sovereignty personnels and
the return of the building workers will be effective at the end of this
month.
At the beginning of September, after the last checkings on the
installations, especially on electricity, all the heavy building gear
will be evacuated from the island.
I am, more than ever in very close contact with the military
authorities of the French Forces for the South zone of the Indian ocean,
in the Reunion Island.
I’ve met the new Head of state Chief warrant officer, before his
starting for his new 3 years assignment to the zone. He assured me of
his entire support and help for this expedition. The last problems to
be solved are about some local logistic, especially the dates usable for
the military planes flights and boats departures, which schedules haven’
t nothing common with commercial ones.
I repeat that all the necessary authorisations are in hand.
Believe us about our will to do a most perfect as possible dxpedition
to the Glorioso.
For that, safety first is our goal.
Know if it could be easy to go, the Glorioso rank in the most wanted
list will not be n°4.
For another island in the Eparses, Europa 2003, we had to work several
years to prepare it before doing.
All the ham operators are personnels of the French Military Defense
and they have all a professional assignments which have priority over
all, included the Ham radio Dxpedition.
The major risks on the zone doesn’t allow to include civilian ham ops
in the crew.
No date is fixed to day, but I’m doing all my best to lead Gloriosos
2008 before the end of this year. It must be said that without all
combined elements gathered, I prefer postpone the operations as often as
it will be necessary I continue to work hard to put the Gloriosos on the
air and know that’s not very easy.
