Major DXpedition to Bouvet Island is upcoming.
2nd most wanted DXCC entity. The team leave homes on January 9th heading to Punta Arenas, Chile.
DX-World can now reveal the team will be signing 3G9A/MM en route to Bouvet aboard the MV Betanzos.
It’s a long voyage (~14 days) so give the team a call. Find out how they are and pass any traffic/news you may hear. Follow the voyage here or here
3G9A/MM via N2OO.
GL 3Y0Z team !
If they’re running the Flex and the vertical barefoot they are doing great job. Got up to listen for Asia and worked them 1 call on 40 CW with a dipole.
