[OCTOBER 30] – Better news. R5EC and RA1ZZ managed to cross the border and now in Togo. 5V7RU started new activity. Other team members hoping to arrive tomorrow (October 30).
[NEWS UPDATE I] – Sadly, so far, the team are not allowed to go through Togo Customs with their equipment and antennas. This is due to a heightened terrorist threat and the authorities are using special regime of border crossing. Team are working hard for the past two days to get the necessary permission and really hope for success.
In the meantime time, TY0RU will continue to QRV for at least two more days. More antennas are being set up again.
[OCTOBER 26] 5V7RU again expected to be active in the coming days. Initially 2 ops arrived in Togo a few days ago and set up some antennas, made a few QSOs (also on QO-100) then had to return home. However, the main crew at TY0RU are on their way soon.
[OCTOBER 23] – You may hear both 5V7RU and TY0RU QRV simultaneously. Don’t be confused; RW8A and R9LR are an advance team going to Togo ahead of the others.

[MISE À JOUR DES NOUVELLES] – RA1ZZ informe que 70% des antennes sont désormais prêtes. Jusqu’à présent, 22 000 QSO ont été créés – log ICI. Les photos ci-dessous créditent RA1ZZ.
[NEWS UPDATE I] – Malheureusement, jusqu’à présent, l’équipe n’est pas autorisée à passer la douane togolaise avec son équipement et ses antennes. Cela est dû à une menace terroriste accrue et les autorités utilisent un régime spécial de franchissement des frontières. L’équipe travaille dur depuis deux jours pour obtenir l’autorisation nécessaire et espère vraiment réussir.
En attendant, TY0RU continuera à QRV pendant au moins deux jours supplémentaires. D’autres antennes sont à nouveau installées.
[26 OCTOBRE] 5V7RU devrait à nouveau être actif dans les prochains jours. Au départ, 2 opérateurs sont arrivés au Togo il y a quelques jours et ont installé des antennes, effectué quelques QSO (également sur QO-100), puis ont dû rentrer chez eux. Cependant, l’équipage principal de TY0RU est bientôt en route.
[23 OCTOBRE] – Vous pouvez entendre simultanément 5V7RU et TY0RU QRV. Ne soyez pas confus; RW8A et R9LR sont une équipe avancée qui se rend au Togo avant les autres.

The Chilean scientific Base, Gabriel Gonzalez Videla, is located at 64° 49′ 24″ South, 62° 51′ 7″ West on the Danco Coast at the north end of the “Antarctic” Peninsula. The Base is situated on two small islands: Lomnitz and Dott (approx. 18,000 square metres), The two islands are separated by a very narrow channel partly filled with morainal material. The northern island is named Isla “Lomnitz” and the southern island, Isla “Dott”. Between the islands and the mainland is a 90-metre channel, which is dry at low tide. This channel and the eastern shores of the islands are covered by till.
Isla Util, a small island in the Gerlache Strait, lies 7 miles north of the base.
thin sections of the rocks collected were studied subsequently at the University of Wisconsin.
des sections minces des roches collectées ont été a ensuite étudié à l’Université du Wisconsin.
In 1987 Greenpeace established the ‘World Park Base’ in Antarctica which stayed until 1991
The main Bbase building was constructed in 1987 from prefabricated units, which were designed and manufactured by a German polar construction and engineering company. Between 1988 and 1990 several structures were added. Eventually, basebuildings consisted of an L-shaped main building and a small food storage and emergency building. The main building comprised an accommodation unit housing a common living area, four separate bedrooms, a bathroom, radio room, medical and science room, coat room and a room containing snow melting equipment. A cold porch was also attached. The engine room was housed in the same building, separated from theother facilities by a walkway. A lean-to was used for storage. The short side of the L-shaped building was formed by another unit joined to the main building by a walkway which housed a workshop, science lab, dark room and field equipment store. The latter unit, called the FOS hut, had been acquired from the Footsteps of Scott Expedition which had previously had a base at the site. 
The original base was designed to accommodate four persons. In later years, a workshop and laboratory building and two more bedrooms were prefabricated and added to the original structure as it became apparent that extra space was needed for the wintering teams. These additions were simple to construct andinstall, with minimum excavation necessary. Also installed on the base was amateur radio equipment for contact with Ham radio enthusiasts worldwide, and a Uosat satellite link that was part of a scientific project run in conjunction with the University of Sussex in the United Kingdom.
