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".
3Y0J: BOUVET 2023 ---> The Intrepid DX Group has announced plans to be
active as 3Y0J from Bouvet Island (#2 Most Wanted DXCC Entity) in January-
February 2023. The group has been planning this major DXpedition since the
successful 2016 operations from the South Sandwich Islands (VP8STI) and
South Georgia (VP8SGI).
In January 2023, a team of fourteen skilled and seasoned operators (team co-
leaders N6PSE and LA7GIA; AB5EB, DL6KVA, HA0NAR, JH4RHF, K6TD, KO8SCA,
LA7THA, LB1QI, N2WB, N7QT, W1SRD, WD5COV) will depart Cape Town on the RV
"Braveheart" and embark on a 42-day voyage to Bouvet Island and back.
Plans are to make a shore landing and an arduous climb up onto the edge of
the glacier, to stay at Bouvet for twenty days (weather permitting) and to
operate CW, SSB and digital modes (FT8/FT4 and RTTY) on 160-10 metres for
14-16 days.
"Each team member will contribute a minimum of $20,000 each and your dona-
tion will be spent on securing the budget of $ $764,000". More information,
including QSLling policy, can be found on https://3y0j.com/. Updates will be
posted also to Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/901378553769436/.

Zones as possible on 160, 80, 40, 20, 15, and 10 metres, while DX stations
work as many JA amateurs in as many Prefectures and JD1 islands as possi-
ble. This year's event will be held on 10-11 April (07.00-13.00 UTC). Com-
plete information can be found on http://jidx.org/jidxrule-e.html.

across the world. This year's YOTA Contest will be held on 22 May (0800-1959
