UPDATE — After considering various projects, taking into account work at radio club, future DXpeditions of F6KOP friends and our big project at the end of 2014, we decided to go to an easy access DXCC country: easily obtaining a licence, a place to go with 20-24 operators from February 6-16, 2014.
While searching the net, of course taking into account the ideas of each and looking at the ClubLog statistics, we decided to go to the Réunion island.
The Réunion island you may ask?! This is not Most Wanted!
Yes, it is true that this IOTA is only on the 122nd DXCC Most Wanted rank, but looking at the ClubLog statistics, the island is highly needed by low band and digital mode DXers. This is why we decided to make a special effort on the low bands and the Digimode .
For this we will have 4 full stations probably equipped with Elecraft K3, K2 and ACOM 1010 amplifier. A Vertical L for 160m and 2-3 beverages. A vertical for 80m and a and four-square on 40 and 30meters, and also a 3 elements Spiderbeam on 30 meters. Other antennas will be 5 and 3 bands Spiderbeams. There will be a simultaneous SSB, CW and RTTY station. The fourth station will be a mixed mode station. We will make a special effort on the low bands and hopefully make happy most of you.
The TO7CC team consists of 17 experienced operators, 6 nationalities: DJ7JC, DJ9RR, 9V1RM, OE3JAG, OZ1IKY, ON4LO, EI5GM, EI9FBB, F4DLM, F5NQL, F5EOT, F5UOW, F5JTV, F6IRA, F1ULQ, F4AJQ. The QSL manager will be F1NGP. We are currently waiting for our pilot station.
We hope you will find all the informations on the website

The whole team wishes to find you in the pile-up and welcomes you in this new F6KOP TEAM adventure.
Best 73, F4AJQ Frank, Team leader.
