   "Last January, we revealed our new project: a DX expedition to St Brandon   
   archipelagoÿ- 3B7. Initially planned onÿOctober 2017, it is finally the period   
   of March-April 2018 which was selected. It presents a maximum of favorable   
   conditions.   
      
   Since the announcement, we have worked on many subjects by followingÿour usual   
   roadmap. Although we're already familiarÿwith this kind of preparation, it is   
   far from being a routine because each project is different. This new adventure   
   does not make    
   exception, and hasÿits batch of characteristics. That's all these preparatory   
   tasks achieved during months which will condition success once on the air.   
      
   A qualified andÿvery motivated team was made up. Our only and single objective   
   will be to satisfy the amateur radio community.   
      
   As for Tromelin and Juan de Nova operations, the conditions of propagation,   
   analyzed finely, will dictate our traffic. We know quite well this zone of the   
   world and its characteristics; thus it will be a goal to satisfy the worldwide   
   DX'ers and more    
   especially those of the most delicate areas to contact: West Coast of America,   
   Japan, and Oceania in particular.   
      
   We secured the transport by the payment of 50% of the invoice; that marks the   
   point of nonreturn of the project.ÿWe are happy to count right now important   
   actors of the amateur radio communityÿamong our sponsors. Soon, we will start   
   contacting the clubs    
   and associations to seek financial support, but as of now, you can support us   
   with in an individual donation. As in the past, we endeavour to maintain the   
   costs to their strict minimum without reducing the equipment engaged, nor the   
   duration of the    
   expedition. However, in spite of this permanent optimization, we need your   
   support in addition to the already important part payed by the operators.   
      
   The website is now online, and will be fed in the coming weeks with articles   
   about the preparation. A Facebook and Twitter account is also available.   
      
   We are impatient to talk with you about this new project during the upcoming   
   hamfests."
