BREAKING DX NEWS: GLORIOSO ISLAND IS ON THE AIR 

Some breaking news in the world of DX. This, with word that the Glorioso Island FT5GA DXpedition team is now active. Operation is reported on all of the high frequency bands using CW, SSB and RTTY but most stateside stations report that signals are very weak. 

The team reportedly had some antenna problems at first due to windy weather conditions and later a faulty contact on a WARC band Spiderbeam. That was repaired and indications are that all three stations are now on the air. 

Operations will last until October 5th per the FT5GA web page. Its in cyberspace at http://glorieuses2008.free.fr and we will have more DX related items near the end of this weeks newscast. (Glorioso Island DX Team)
