| January 2023 | 3Y0J: Bouvet Island 3Y0J: LATEST NEWS ---> 'With only four months left until we go onshore
Bouvet, we approach September that will come with two major milestones for
us', the team posted on 30 August in their Press Release #11.
One major milestone is the shipping of the container from Norway that is
scheduled on 18 September. From Oslo the container will be shipped to the
Falkland Islands, where a team of local hams lead by Don, VP8ON will make
an effort to inspect the content before our arrival.
The 3Y0J team is currently busy packing all our equipment at our staging
site at Oslo airport, where we for the next few weeks will finalize the
packing of the equipment. This will end an extremely busy period for us.
We have been through 12 months of purchasing, assembling, testing, and
packing the equipment. The team has worked hard, and ultimately shipping
the container will complete this intensive period of work that will enable
us to achieve our goal to activate the rare #2 DXCC Bouvetoya. Rest
assured this is a well-planned DXpedition!
We have detailed out the logistic plan and have made a few changes. Among
the improvements are:
- We have bought yet another outboard engine enabling us to use two zodiac
boats simultaneously during beach landing to speed up the unloading of
gear. In addition, we have a 3rd spare zodiac and engine. Having a pair
of zodiacs is a great advantage to us, as we have developed a plan for
going onshore Bouvet even for a short weather window down to 2 hours.
- We have swapped the Yanmar generators with 5 kW Hyundai generators that
will enable us to run full station setup with only two out of 4 diesel
gens. It means that we are less dependent on a long duration of good
weather to achieve a good setup.
- We have carried out a risk analysis and identified 37 hazards and
assessed the risk for each hazard. Ten hazards are identified as 'high'
risk and 17 'medium', all which have been mitigated to an acceptable
residual risk level. We have prepared a plan for rationing of food and
water in case resupplies are difficult, and when we unload operators and
equipment onshore Bouvet, they will be self-sufficient for 28 days
without needing resupplies.
The second milestone for September is the payment of the third deposit for
the 'Marama' contract. This payment is a major commitment from the team
and our sponsors, individual and clubs, that we together will make this
happen. We thank each and every one of you who have contributed to pay a
share of the vessel cost to have the opportunity to work Bouvet. We still
need $70,000 to be able to go to Bouvet. If you want to see Bouvet
activated, please consider to donate.

His plans to be QRV from Crozet for three months [425DXN 1607] might change

| 20/03-29/03 2023 | CY0S: Sable Island (NA-063) CY0 - Originally scheduled to take place sometime between October and
November 2022, the CY0S DXpedition to Sable Island has been post-
poned until 20-29 March 2023. 'The reason for this significant
change is due to a large, six-week project Parks Canada has on the
island beginning on October 1 and going to at least mid-November
2022', the team says. 'By moving the DXpedition to March 2023, the
team hopes to take advantage of the late winter, early spring band
conditions and improving solar numbers. On a less positive note,
Sable Aviation informed us of another increase in the fuel sur-
charge for our flights to the island. The fuel surcharge has now
doubled'. If you are willing to contribute, please use the 'Donate'

| March 2023 | W8S: Swains Island W8S: SWAINS ISLAND 2023 ---> 'This week the W8S team had another conference
call about the planning for the upcoming DXpedition to KH8/s Swains Island',
Ronald PA3EWP wrote on 4 November. 'Due to the Covid-19 restrictions, it
will remain impossible to travel to American Samoa in the coming months.
The limited number of flights, only 5 the first quarter of 2022, from Hawaii
to American Samoa with the additional restriction to do a Covid-19 test 5
days before departure in Hawaii makes travelling extreme difficult. Also
tourists have a lower priority to buy a ticket.
The risk is too great to travel to Swains in the spring of 2022.
Two members of our team are also part of the 3Y0J Bouvet team scheduled for
November/December 2022.
The entire team therefore had to decide to postpone the W8S Swains DXpedi-
tion until March 2023. This is the only opportunity to be on Swains for 15
days with the same team as our original plans in 2020.
Our project has certainly not been canceled but postponed to the spring of
2023. An extra advantage that the propagation is much better on the higher
bands'. Updates will be posted to https://swains2020.lldxt.eu/, as well as
to Twitter and Facebook.
