FT/X, Kerguelen Island
Gildas, TU5KG, is now active as FT5XT/MM off of Kerguelen Island. Operating as Maritime Mobile (/MM)
does not count for DXCC. However, Gildas, who is on a fishing boat, has been known to sometimes go
a shore and operate. He has operated as FT5XP in 2006, FT5XR in 2008, FT5XS in 2009 and FT5XT in
2010/2011/2016. Watch the QSNs carefully on the DXCluster spots. QSL via F4DXW.

J2, Djibouti
Reports indicate that Rene, DL2JRM, will once again be active as J28XX from Djibouti. Activity will
probably be on 80-10 meters using CW and SSB with 100 watts into a Vertical antenna. QSL via his
home callsign, direct or by the Bureau.
