Via the ARRL: 3Y0J DXpedition to Bouvet Island Confirms November 2022 Activation

The 3Y0J Bouvet Island DXpedition team says that with its first deposit on its contract to have the SS Marama provide transportation to Bouvet, it has confirmed its plans to activate the second most-wanted DXCC entity in November 2022.

“It is a huge task and undertaking to go to Bouvet, and we still critically need additional upfront support to close the budget,” said the amateur radio DXpeditions team of co-leaders Ken Opskar, LA7GIA; Rune Øye, LA7THA, and Erwann Merrien, LB1QI. The DXpedition announced that two more operators will join the adventure, taking the number to 13.

Dave Jorgensen, WD5COV, is an avid DXer and experienced DXpeditioner. He is vice president of the Intrepid-DX Group, which had hoped to mount a DXpedition to Bouvet before its plans broke down.

The second new team member, identified as “Peter,” is described as “an experienced captain and expedition leader.” Peter has experience in offshore, uncharted, and remote polar sailing, and he “specializes in supporting some of the most complex expeditions in the Arctic and Antarctica.” He will oversee the Zodiac landings and serve as a digital mode (FT#) operator.
