Nel mese di novembre 2017 una spedizione DX italiana ha attivato col nominativo J5T l'isola di Bubaque, referenza IOTA AF-020 una delle centinaia di isole dell'arcipelago di Bijagos a poche miglia dalla costa della Guinea Bissau a cui appartengono territorialmente. Il team era composto da: I1HJT Alfeo, I2YSB Silvano, IK2CIO Vinicio, IK2CKR Angelo, IK2DIA Marcello, IK2HKT Stefano, IK2RZP Gino. Molti radioamatori e SWL hanno avuto la ghiotta occasione di operare contemporaneamente una referenza IOTA e un Country di non comune attivazione. Supportati da una robusta organizzazione tecnica e logistica i embri del team hanno operato incessantemente in tutti i modi e tutte le bande. Gli ascolti che quì riportiamo sono in SSB sui 18 MHz e in RTTY sui 20 metri.
La Guinea Bissau è un piccolo Stato dell'Africa Occidentale. Come molti altri Stati di quella regione anche la Guinea Bissau ha un passato coloniale legato alla tratta degli schiavi. Il territorio è stato occupato dai portoghesi fino al 1973 ed è stato il primo territorio dell'Africa coloniale portoghese ad ottenere l'indipendenza ancor prima della Rivoluzione dei Garofani del 1974 che con il ritorno della democrazia pose anche fine al colonialismo portoghese in Africa.
Basic translation with Google for the non italian Readers:
In November 2017 an Italian DX pedition has activated with the call J5T the island of Bubaque, reference IOTA AF-020, one of the hundreds islands of the Bijagos archipelago a few miles from the coast of Guinea Bissau to which they belong territorially. The team consisted of: I1HJT Alfeo, I2YSB Silvano, IK2CIO Vinicio, IK2CKR Angelo, IK2DIA Marcello, IK2HKT Stefano, IK2RZP Gino. Many radio amateurs and SWL have had the opportunity to work simultaneously with an IOTA reference and a country of uncommon activation. Supported by a robust technical and logistic organization, the team have worked unceasingly in all modes and all bands. The tracks we record here are SSB on 18 MHz and RTTY on 20 meters.
Guinea-Bissau is a small state of West Africa. Like many other states in that region, Guinea Bissau has a colonial past related to the slave trade. The territory was occupied by the Portuguese until 1973 and was the first territory of the Portuguese colonial Africa to obtain independence even before the 1974 Carnation Revolution, which with the return of democracy also put an end to Portuguese colonialism in Africa.
