ARACE (Association des Radio Amateurs de la Côte d'Emeraude) located in St Malo, France (IN88) has organised the call sign TM0RHUM and Internet Site (http://tm0rhum.arace.fr) for the 10^th running of the Route du Rhum. We will be operational from 24 October until 7 November for the 10^th running of the Route du Rhum.

The Route du Rhum is an International Transatlantic single-handed Sailboat Race from St Malo, France to Pointe-à-Pitre, Gaudeloupe. The race takes place every 4 years. In the 2010 race, there were 85 boats and winning boat, Groupama 3, took only 9 days and 3 hours to reach Gaudeloupe. This year's race departs St Malo on Sunday, 2 November.

The ARACE team is pleased to welcome operators from other regions of France and Europe such as ON4ZD who will be with us a CW operator. We will have five stations active in all bands from 160m to 2m. This year, we will have a larger presence of CW operators and we expect more activity on this mode. We will present in more detail all of the operators during the course of the operation. We hope to hear from you.
