With FT5GA on the air now I noticed a Dx announcement from the December 1956 
CQ about FB8BK (Madagascar) planning a Dxpedition to Iles Gloriueses.  I was 
an SWL then with a trap dipole and hallicrafters S-40B.

I did not even know Glorioso was a DXCC entity back then.  I thought it was 
added when Gus Browning and Don Miller traveled on Dxpeditions
to the area in the early 1960's.
