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

| 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'.

| November 2022 | 3Y0J: Bouvet Island 3Y0J: LATEST NEWS ---> While the Bouvet 2022 team is 'full speed ahead with
the planning', the following information about what they are doing right now
was posted to the 3Y0J's website (https://www.3y0j.no/) on 14 September.
1. We prepare for the first vessel deposit which is due next month.
2. The logistic team which Gjermund LB5GI is leading are working on sever-
al important topics:
a) preparing a safe way to land the operators and the equipment on
Bouvet. A flexible system that allows for various conditions will be
engineered, constructed and soon tested at a beach in Norway with
enough swell. We are working on several different systems to adapt
to the conditions. One system consist of two zodiacs, buoys, anchor,
capstan and rope to safely land the dinghy with and without person-
nel/equipment. Gjermund and Rune LA7THA are working with some expe-
rienced Norwegian professionals within the maritime industry in
Norway to test this system live.
b) prepare a winch system for lifting the equipment up from the beach
to the cliff at Cape Fie. Again we prepare for a flexible system
that can adapt to various shapes and height of the cliff; we will
use both electrical and non-electrical systems, and also manual sys-
tems. The bulkiest item is the diesel generators (75 kg). System to
be engineered, constructed and tested in Norway soon. Effort is
being led by Rune.
c) a system to assist us in bringing the equipment from the cliff up to
the camp roughly 200 ft up at 70ft ASL being planned. This will help
us when bringing 4.5 metric tons of equipment, fuel and water up to
the camp.
3. We are currently reviewing the antenna layout once again, InnovAntenna
being our main sponsor. We're working on a staged approach to allow
setting up the camp also during very short weather windows with a setup
that will be expanded with more stations and antennas until we reach
the full setup. Adrian KO8SCA is currently preparing for testing the
tribander yagi.
4. Erwann LB1QI is leading the ancillary systems and is working on the
tent selection. Heated or not heated tents?
5. We are working on the station setup, but so far we have not selected
the exact setup - we have several options on the table when it comes to
radio and amplifiers.
6. Safety has a high attention in the project, and we will do what we can
to avoid accidents and injuries. Bill KO7SS is taking the lead on Safe-
ty. Bill is dedicated to oversee all planning and operations with re-
gard to safety. We will run risk workshops, discuss safety, safety pro-
cedures, mitigate risk, construct emergency shelter, prepare evacuation
plan of personnel, evacuation of injured operator from camp to vessel,
etc.
In a while we will start with Zoom meetings - there you can follow our jour-
ney to Bouvet. You can get the latest news, discuss with us topics, get
feedback, interact with operators, Q&A and more. Check out our website for
this feature (https://www.3y0j.no/funding): you can buy unlimited access to
the meetings, and at the same time help us in fundraising.

| 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]
