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.
