On March 15, 2024 we officially announced the FT4GL operation after receiving the license from the TAAF, despite a first refusal in 2023. In less than a month, the team in charge of supporting Marek FH4VVK, succeeded in its objective of mobilizing international aid, by individual, associative and professional sponsors, in order to acquire the equipment, test it, organize the logistics..., a lot of work in addition to our jobs, stress, questions, joy. .. but we have arrived at this new stage. Yesterday Jean-Marc F5RQQ and Fabrice F4FTV went to our main sponsor PROSIC - F5HPE , who supports this operation with dedication comparable to the OM spirit "If all the guys in the world" ... spirit which is becoming rare, we are more confronted today there is criticism and jealousy... Their trip consisted of bringing the rest of the equipment, part of which was already at PROSIC, in order to crate 90% of all the stations. The material will be sent tomorrow by plane to Mayotte, which Marek FH4VVK will receive in the coming days. F5RQQ and F5TVL, will go to FH in a month, to help Marek finalize certain technical points and give the last organizational instructions before his flight to Glorieuse. Thanks to everyone who trusted us and helped us so far, the work is not finished. F5RQQ - F5HPE ( PROSIC ) - F4FTV

Why only one man? Glorioso is one of the most wanted- you need a whole team of operators to give everybody the chance of an ATNO!

We are pleased to announce to the international community, the agreement of the French Southern and Antarctic Lands, the future amateur radio activity which will take place from May 24 to June 19, 2024 on the island of Grande Glorieuse with the callsign FT4GL. This operation carried out for more than a year of effort has finally been rewarded, it will be atypical and difficult, because the Glorieuses are ranked 7th in the DXCC Most Wanted List, and the amateur radio traffic carried out exclusively by a single radio amateur, Marek FH4VVK in parallel of his professional activity. We will inform you regularly about the progress of preparations. FT4GL
