3B7 - The various logistical arrangements for the 7-24 September 3B7C operation from St. Brandon have been confirmed, a detailed site survey of the QTH (Isle du Sud) has been made, the container of gear has been shipped and everything is looking good.
Amateur radio activity on 6 metres is not normally allowed from Mauritius and its outlying islands, but the group has been able to gain a short-term permit, limited to three fixed frequencies: 50090 (CW), 50102 (CW), 50145 (USB).
Bob, N6OX has joined the team, but they still have a vacancy for one team member to bring the total team to 20. "We are seeking a team player and an outstanding operator who is ideally known to one of the current 3B7C team members", says G3XTT (g3xtt@lineone.net). "A 6m specialist would be particularly welcome". Keep an eye on the web site (www.3b7c.com), which continues to be updated on a regular basis.
