This expedition mobilizes 10 Ham-Radio, 9 on the island and 1 assistant in Burgundy. They will activate 6 stations from 80m to 23cm.

“We had planned for January 2020, a more distant expedition for 2021, but the pandemic has passed there, so we decided to organize an expedition to France. The team will have worked 5 months to organize this expedition upstream, which will serve as a “laboratory” for our more distant expeditions. This expedition could not take place without a flawless mobilization of the participants, without the loan of the participants radio equipment , the Radio Club F6KJS without forgetting the Radio Club F6KOP. And of course without the help of our many Sponsors and Donors. Without waiting, we would like to thank the Montceau-les-MinesMunicipality, the newspaper “Journal de Saône-et-Loire”, our Sponsors and Donors, F6KJS and F6KOP. We will leave with more than 70% of antennas specially developed and built for this expedition. Subsequently, some of these antennas will be placed at Radio Club F6KJS, others will be reunited with their owners, and others will be stored for future expeditions. We invite you to meet from 80m to 23cm for good “pile-ups”.”
