Topband: Question Regarding 160m Activity from FT5/W Crozet - (and FB8WW activity from the 1960 era)

TNX for posting this!

Gold indeed.  Smiled when I saw VO1FB(sk) in there. He got 3Y5X on several 
bands, and his harmonic made it on top band.

And is there any specific information available such as CALLSIGN and QSO Specifics (eg: QSO CALLSIGN/DATE/YEAR?) Personally - I am not aware of this - and if it happened it would have likely have to have taken place in the mid 1950's-1960's when there were a number of French military active on the island back then.
