WE RECENTLY NOTICED IN THE LATEST “REBEL DX GROUP” NEWS UPDATE THIS PARTICULAR PARAGRAPH:
It’s come to our attention that a few PAID subscription services and Internet News Providers have taken issue with our QSL Policy. Oh, the hypocrisy! They charge YOU the good readers $50 a year and charge their advertisers mere thousands of dollars a year to put their logo’s on their Website, but they want the Rebels to offer free QSLs to the world via the Buro? Give it a rest. How about this? Maybe we should run a promotion that we’ll offer a FREE QSL to anybody that cancels the Daily DX subscription and saves themselves $50 a year, $500 a decade or $1,250 a Quarter Century! For any companies that cancel their DX World advertising – maybe we should offer FREE QSL confirmations to all your company employees?
FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, DX-WORLD HAS NEVER ONCE QUESTIONED THE REBEL DX GROUP QSL POLICY. WE HAVE NO INTEREST IN THEIR QSL MATTERS.
JUNE 1 @ 08:00z – 3D2CR now QRV. Further updates on Rebel DX Group website. Logs will be uploaded to Club Log once they return to Fiji.
JUNE 1, 2019 @ 07:20z – 3D2CR catamaran anchored 500m offshore. Station assembly almost complete.
MAY 31, 2019 – At 22:00z the team were approx 30nm north east of Conway Reef.
MAY 30, 2019 – 3D2CR team again on their way to Conway Reef.
MAY 25, 2019 – Few days ago the team departed for Conway Reef, however the weather became really bad at sea and they had to return to Nadi, Fiji. Following info from Graham VK3GA/3D2:
We hit a massive storm on Thursday night around 21:30z. Winds were peaking at 80km/h and waves over 10m. We were 250km’s from land in the middle of the ocean with no-where to hide, so the decision to return to Fiji was easy to make. It still took us 2 days to get home.
And this from Tack, JE1CKA/3D2:
またまた悪夢に見舞われた。
ブーベの再来、7-8mの波と激しい風雨、ドムの判断で寄港を決定。
本日4時頃？Nadiに着岸
天候の回復を待って再挑戦する予定、フライトの変更が上手く行けば
しかし、今日は雲一つない快晴 こんなものだよ人生は— JE1CKA/3D2 (@CkaJe1) May 24, 2019

We safely arrived Nadi port and we are looking forward to have good weather. The plan is still on going.— JE1CKA/3D2 (@CkaJe1) May 24, 2019
MAY 20, 2019 – Team member Graham, VK3GA reports “there is unseasonal weather at the moment, including tropical depressions which are unusual at this time of year. This is delaying our departure”.
