[Dxbase] New additions to your Alias Map database - Joe wa6axe

[Joe Glockner]

TO all:

In preparations for the FT5GA (Glorioso Island) DXped
in July 2009, and after having been made aware of the
needed changes to our DXbase Country Database (Alias Map),
the following " ADDITIONS " can be made to your Alias Map:

FT0E thru FT9E - mapped to FR/J

FT0J thru FT9J - mapped to FR/J

FT0G thru FT9G - mapped to FR/G

FT0T thru FT9T - mapped to FR/T

There are other ways to accomplish the same thing,
but, the above list (Additions) is the manner in
which I have made the changes.

Here are the words that I was made aware of:

//quote//
For the first time, Glorioso will be active under the new French
Antarctic and Australes Territories (TAAF) regulation so the callsign
will be: FT5GA.  For which a confirmation is pending.
 
>From 2005, the "Iles Eparses" - Glorioso, Tromelin, Juan de Nova and
Europa - are now under the authority of TAAF.  The future callsigns
will be issued as follow:
Glorioso FR/G will become FT#G
Europa FR/E will become  FT#E
Tromelin FR/T will become FT#T
Juan de Nova FR/J will become FT#J
There will be no change for FT#W (Crozet), FT#Y (Terre Adelie,
Antarctica), FT#X (Kerguelen) and FT#Z (Amsterdam).
