3B7C ---> The Five Star DXers Association (FSDXA) 3B7C expedition to St.
Brandon (AF-015) [425DXN 806] is still on course for September 2007. The plan
is to be QRV from the 7th to the 24th, ensuring two full weeks and three
weekends of activity. The team is aware that a Polish expedition to Agalega
has been announced for April 2007, but considers that demand for this rare
one is such that a large-scale operation (12 stations) is fully justified.

posted on http://www.3b7c.com as it becomes available. [TNX G3XTT]
