Here is some more news on the upcoming Glorioso Island DXpedition.
Bernie, W3UR

Hi friends

The Transall plane, carrying the TAAF and Mayotte authorities, the French
Foreign Legion detachment and the FT5GA crew has landed on Grande
Glorieuse
at 13h30 GMT (16h30 local).
 
At this moment all the Servicemen, included the FT5GA Ops are busy to unload
all the Military and DXpedition gear and supplies.
 
The night falls very quickly so, when the plane will be completely unloaded,
it will be too late to set up the antennas, even one. It will be done
tomorrow just after the sunrise.
 
The team FT5GA will live in the anticyclone shelter and will have a special
room for his Ham traffic. This evening and sometime in the night,  they will
spent as longer as possible the most part of their  time to set up the
indoor parts of the stations – rigs, pa’s, laptops, bandfilters ...).  
After more then five years, some hours to wait again is undoubtedly the best
achievement we would had hope, isn't it?
