3Y0J: LATEST NEWS ---> The 2023 Bouvet Island DXpedition team leaders posted
their Press Release #10 on 3 June.
"In late April we successfully conducted a 4-day vessel inspection in Brazil
that ended with a very good result. The inspection was carried out by a 3rd
party vessel inspector and covered more than 105 checkpoints. The vessel
inspection focused on safety equipment, instruments, navigation, engines/
machinery, deck, tenders, fuel & fluids, interior, and exterior. 'Marama' is
in very good condition and hence the overall feedback is positive. The
vessel went through significant upgrades with regards to machinery and
engines in 2021 and has since been tested for years, most lately during the
previous Antarctica season. The inspection file resulted in a punch list of
only a few minor items to be followed up, no major findings during the 4-day
inspection.
The team is currently working on the final preparations for packing the
container scheduled to be shipped from Oslo in early September. Preparing
the packing and shipping the container is extremely time consuming and
requires a focus on details as our more than two years of work now is being
materialized into packing lists and labelling the equipment. Today we have
finally decided our container will be shipped to Port Stanley, Falkland
Islands. In Port Stanley a local team of ham radio operators will assist us
in receiving the container, conduct a container inspection and make sure all
is OK before the team arrive in early January. To Bouvet the team will bring
6500 kg of equipment, which includes several tons of fuel and food. Our
contract allows for 22 days on the island, but we have food for 30 days and
a plan for rationing should we have to stay beyond 22 days.
At this stage all the operators have already paid their full deposit of
their individual $20,000 operator fee. This is your insurance that we will
do whatever we can to make this DXpedition a success. In a few weeks we will
pay our 2nd vessel deposit to 'Marama'. Ultimately this represents a huge
undertaking for us financially as well a commitment to go to Bouvet and
activate the rare #2 DXCC Bouvet Island. With all the preparation and
planning over the course of the last two years you can rely on our
commitment and our determination to go onshore Bouvet in a zodiac seven
months from now.
Going to Bouvet would simply not be possible without the support from the
vendors, clubs, foundations, and individual sponsors. June 1st, we completed
our budget update, and this shows we're still missing roughly $100,000 out
of our $690,000 budget to be able to go to Bouvet. As we now prepare for the
next vessel deposit, we need your support to close the gap. Please consider
supporting us by donating upfront.
You can follow our plans from our website (https://www.3y0j.no/) and the
3Y0J Facebook pages (https://www.facebook.com/groups/3093983840726129)".
CQ DX MARATHON ---> The CQ DX Marathon is a year-long DX hunt, with
participants competing to see who can work the greatest number of countries
("entities") and CQ zones during the calendar year. Complete results of the
2021 edition are on https://www.dxmarathon.com/Results/2021/Results2021.htm.
