| December | 3Y0I: Bouvet Island 3Y0I: BOUVET 2021 ---> 'First of all, we would like to wish the recently
announced 3Y0J Bouvet DXpedition all the best for a successful activity in
2023', the Rebel DX Group posted to their Facebook page on 5 April
(https://www.facebook.com/rebeldxgroup/). 'There is enough space for even 3
more activities from 3Y0 land. We know how much detailed planning goes into
a project like this and cross fingers for them.
From a Rebel perspective, the 3Y0J announcement does not change our plans.
December 15, 2021 is when we plan to leave Cape Town and again head south
into the Roaring Forties and Furious Fifties before attempting a Bouvet
landing. We absolutely know from experience how volatile the seas around
this most remote island are.
Our team of 8 operators aim to spend up to 30 days on Bouvet. Depending on
weather, we will likely spend 7-10 days each way on the high seas getting
there and returning. Once on the island and our camp is set up, we will run
8 stations covering 160-6m. Modes include CW, SSB, FT4/FT8, RTTY and OQ100.
The total budget for our Bouvet DXpedition is considerably less than that of
3Y0J. We also have had no backing from any of the DX foundations. Nonethe-
less, we are now missing only $32,000 from our final cost of $267,000. We
absolutely hope between now and December we can accrue this missing amount,
and appeal to all generous donors to help us with our final push to meet
target'. Bookmark https://www.facebook.com/rebeldxgroup/ as 'more info will
be posted soon'.

| October 2022 | CY0C: Sable Island (NA-063) CY0C: SABLE ISLAND 2022 ---> The CY0C team posted to the DXpedition's web-
site (http://cy0dxpedition.net/index.html) that their October 2021 operation
from Sable Island [425DXN 1554] has had to be postponed due to the ongoing
Covid-19 pandemic. 'Furthermore, because of the pandemic, Parks Canada is
behind on their island maintenance projects and the Visitor Quarters will
not be available for the DXpedition team. The Sable Island manager did
extend an invitation to the team for October 2022, which the team unanimous-
ly accepted'. Since the 2021 DXpedition is no longer possible, the team 'is
offering a couple of options to the many foundations, clubs and individuals
who have already sent financial support. We are offering complete refunds to
those who request a refund. If you would like us to apply your contribution
to the 2022 CY0C DXpedition, that will be available as well. Any refund
requests should be directed to WA4DAN'.

| TBA 2022 | ZL9: Campbell Island (OC-037) VP8PJ: FINAL PRESS RELEASE ---> 'We have closed the books on the VP8PJ DX-
pedition to the South Orkney Islands (AN-008)', the Leadership Team an-
nounced on 13 September. 'Due to the global pandemic our equipment was re-
turned to California about two months later than planned. Nothing was
missing or damaged during the extended journey. Thanks to the worldwide
clubs/foundations, the DX community and our corporate sponsors, the project
met all operational and financial goals. We appreciate the continued support
from the DX community.
Consistent with our commitment to upload the complete VP8PJ log to LoTW six
months following the DXpedition, Tim M0URX will upload the complete log on
15 September.
Planning for our next project [ZL9 New Zealand Sub Antarctic Islands, 425DXN
1515] is underway. Exact timing will depend on lifting of the global travel
restrictions, issuance of the landing permit and ship scheduling, early 2022
is the plan'. [TNX K5GS]

| Jan-Feb 2023 | 3Y0J: Bouvet Island 3Y0J: PRESS RELEASE #2 (29 APRIL) ---> Bouvet is like the Mount Everest of
DXCC entities. It is among the most challenging entities to activate due to
significant transportation costs and personal sacrifices required by the
team to make the 42-day round trip. Fortunately, Bouvet is not our first
mountain. We are well prepared for this challenge.
All plans are going well. We are researching polar quality tents and
equipment. We are discussing antenna specifications with various manufactur-
ers. We will make careful choices to help us meet the demand for Bouvet
contacts.
We are delighted to add a second physician to our team. Dr. Mike Crownover
(AB5EB) and Dr. Bill Straw (KO7SS) are both seasoned Emergency Physicians
and will help the team immensely with their expertise.
Our fundraising is going very well. We have received a significant donation
from our longtime friend Y. Zorro Miyazawa (JH1AJT). Zorro has always been
an enthusiastic supporter of our missions and his generosity is greatly
appreciated.
We are pleased to announce that we will receive the ARRL's Colvin Grant, as
well as large donations from the Far East DX-ploiters Foundation, the German
DX Foundation and the Twin Cities DX Association. We would love to add your
Club or your Call to our sponsors pages.
This will be an arduous and expensive mission. Our budget is USD 764,000 and
the 3Y0J team will fund much of this mission. We desperately need the global
DX Community to support our mission and help us make this important activa-
tion of the #2 most wanted DXCC Eentity. It is only through this kind of
support that we can achieve our mission of making 100,000 contacts or more
from Bouvet.
In closing, we especially wish to thank our many Foundation, Club and Indi-
vidual donors. Without this kind of support, operations to the world's
rarest entities would not be possible. Please include your callsign, mailing
address and email address with your PayPal submissions. We would not want to
miss QSLing with you!
You can follow our plans from our website (https://3y0j.com/) and Facebook
group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/3y0jbouvet2023).

| TBA | W8S: Swains Island (OC-200) KH8S - The W8S DXpedition to Swains Island has been postponed once again
[425DXN 1504] because of the restrictions imposed by the Department
of Public Health of American Samoa as a result of the coronavirus
outbreak. 'Due to the COVID-19 pandemic it is still impossible to
travel to Swains Island', the team reported on 16 June. 'This means
that we have to postpone our DXpedition until spring 2021 at the
earliest'. Planning will be resumed as soon as the restrictions -
such as the 14-day quarantine - are lifted. 'All equipment already
purchased is waiting for us in Pago Pago. We are very disappointed
with this postponement, but if we look at it from a positive angle,
propagation will be better next year! We continue our DXpedition
project and keep you informed via our mailing list, website
(https://swains2020.lldxt.eu/) and the social media channels such
as Facebook and Twitter'.
