[ADXA] 3Y0I RUMOR

[w5zn at w5zn.org]

I'll get excited when (if) they actually get on the air with feet firmly
planted on Bouvet Island. 

I will work them, if possible, regardless of the QSL policy. That
doesn't mean I'll agree to it but as I said here and during our meeting
in Russellville thatmy advice, if you need 3Y Bouvet, is to work them
and get them in your log (and theirs) then when their QSL policy is
announced you can decide if you want to play. If not, at least you are
in the log and your position may change in a couple of years and decide
you will pay for the card. If you don't work them, you most definitely
will NOT have that opportunity and there may never be another Bouvet op
in your lifetime! 

Just to be clear though, there has been no, absolutely no, factual info
on exactly what their QSL policy will be so any speculation at this
point, even from me, is just hot air!!! 

I think I just called myself a blowhardf!!  :-)))

I will not pay $20 per QSO, even if I got them on 30 and 40m and RTTY. Got on all other bands except 160/80 and NO WAY I can do that. Gosh, the pileups are gg to be an ear buster unless you are watching FT8, PSK and RTTY... hi_

My wife almost divorced me after 4 trips I took for 4-5 weeks each time in the 70s and 80s. The kids wondered who I was when I returned; the 'guy' she almost divorced. Married 55 years now, so did something right. Hmmm. Maybe she did want me to go away a while???_
