| October-November | PY0S: Saint Peter & Saint Paul Archipelago (SA-014) PY0S - The Araucaria DX Group has announced that it has received permis-
sion from the Brazilian Navy Brazilian Navy to conduct a DXpedition
from Saint Peter & Saint Paul Archipelago (SA-014) in the October-
November 2025 timeframe.
This DXCC Entity was last activated in 2012. 'Since then permission
to land and operate from the rocks has not been granted. Our Radio
In a Box (RIB) capability enables us to make this activation possi-
ble without the operators being physically on the rocks, thereby
meeting the key requirement of the Navy for a very small footprint
operation with minimum human presence. According to the permit, two
of us will be allowed to land each day for a limited time to refuel
the generators and make any necessary repairs'.
Plans are to deploy five RIBs for a total of 6 stations, and to
operate CW, SSB and FT8 on 160-6 metres. There will be six local
operators (AA7JV, HA7RY, KN4EEI, KO8SCA, PY2XB and PY5CC) who will
be based on a boat anchored a short distance from the rocks. The
local team will be complemented by a number of remote operators.
Further information, including dates and callsign, will be provided
in due course. Bookmark https://py0s2025.com for updates.

| February 2026 | 3Y0K: Bouvet Island (AN-002) 3Y0K: MARCH NEWS UPDATE ---> 'In February 2026, less than a year away, an
international team of very courageous amateur radio operators will land on
Bouvet Island. Bouvet is a Norwegian overseas territory and lies in the
South Atlantic Ocean, with 93% of its surface covered by ice and snow. It
sets the record as the Most Remote Uninhabited Island on Earth and currently
ranks #10 on the Most Wanted DXCC listing at Club Log.
Operating as 3Y0K, our team will attempt to give as many ATNOs as possible
and be active in all amateur radio bands from 10 to 160m. We will direct our
attention to human modes of CW & SSB, but will also be active in FT8, RTTY
and QO-100 satellite with up to 12 operating stations.
We have secured the necessary permit to land on Bouvet Island by heli-
copter, issued by the Norwegian Polar Institute. Our plan is to start the
sea journey in Cape Town, South Africa, from where an icebreaker under the
Icelandic flag we'll take us to the island in (hopefully) 7 days. Since
landing depends on the weather conditions, we are scheduled to be on and
around the island for up to 21 days. A helicopter will assist us in bring-
ing ashore a significant amount of equipment to setup a camp with two radio
tents. One radio tent on the lower area of Cape Fie, and one radio tent on
the upper area with better take off to NA. Upper camp will focus on working
NA.
The logistics behind this project are complex and require a budget of
$1.65M. Most of the money will be used to pay for the services offered by
the icebreaker and its crew, the helicopter with its two pilots and one me-
chanic, as well as the fuel for both. Each team member is contributing a
significant amount to the budget, and they will also incur additional costs
for commercial airfare, two side trips to Norway required by various tasks,
winter sleeping bags and clothing, etc.
Passionate amateur operators and clubs around the world as well as multi-
ple companies are supporting this project. As prime example, Northern Cali-
fornia DX Foundation (NCDXF) have pledged up to $200K, of which half matched
against donations received from outside of North America. Companies such as
DX Engineering, Icom, RF Power and ACOM a re supporting the team with a mul-
titude of radio equipment components. We also teamed up with a small private
group to share the large costs of the DXpedition.
Please visit our website at http://www.3Y0K.com to read more about this
project, the team, the latest news, and learn about the complex preparations
the team is engaged in to ensure that its mission will be executed safely
and successfully. At this time, we are looking to raise an additional $200K
to avoid putting further financial strain on the team.
Your financial support is critical, so please consider donating either
directly and/or through the clubs, associations, and foundations that you
are members of. We will be very happy to make a Zoom presentation about this
project to the membership of your organization at a time of your conve-
nience. Meanwhile, we intend to continuously track the level of fundraising
on our expedition website to inform everyone as to where we are in this
endeavour.
Thank you in advance for your support, we look forward to contacting you
from the Most Remote Uninhabited Island on Earth!'

| February 2027 | 3Y0L: Peter I Island (AN-004) BOUVET 2026 & PETER I 2027 ---> 'The 3Y0K Bouvet 2026 team are still working
on the vessel and helicopter contracts and we are in the final stage before
signing the contracts. We are sorting out the last minute deals and are
still looking for some more operators for Bouvet and Peter I teams. Funding
of these two DXpeditions also heavily depends on us getting a full team of
operators onboard that contribute with their participation fee. Should you
wish to join our team, please contact admin[@]3y0.no or Cezar, VE3LYC.
We estimate to stay around the island for three weeks and the total duration
should be around 38 days to Bouvet and a little bit less to Peter I. We do
have all the helicopter and landing permits issued by NPI to go to onshore
Bouvet and Peter I with a full scale operation. Planning these two DXpedi-
tions is very time consuming where the logistics have to be coordinated with
other expeditions and that is why it takes time to sign contracts. Our plans
are to use the same vessel for both DXpeditions. First the vessel and crew
will take us to Bouvet where we will do landing with a helicopter, then our
equipment will later be shipped to South America and stored there before we
return one year later to go to Peter I Island scheduled for departure late
January 2027. Our plans are to go onshore Peter I with two helicopters first
week of February 2027. This way of running the DXpeditions is a huge
advantage for the #7 most wanted DXpedition to Peter I. Island'.
