Tony, WA4JQS reminds us that 30 years ago (in March) the VP8SSI South Sandwich Island DXpedition took place. Tony was team leader and would go on to become co-leader of the 3Y0PI Peter 1st Island DXpedition two years later. Thanks for the memories !

Tony … Was so glad I sent you this condensed version of over 12 hours I taped of our trip. Thanks for digitizing it and including here. That was the most challenging expedition ever but they all have some degree of risk. Could call it a warm-up trip for 3Y0PI two years later. It sure brings back a lot of memories and need to look out for each other in those extreme conditions. As we talked about previously, this is “old school” compared to the mega-expeditions being done now. We had great support in the UK, Ascension, Falklands and Abel J. It was an experience of a life time. Hope everyone enjoys it.
