[ADXA] Where's Waldo (Bouvet) ????

[w5zn at w5zn.org]

ADXA Folks,

It would be very silly of me to ask if you've been keeping up with the 
Bouvet progress!!! We're all glued to the DX outlets waiting for 
"BREAKING NEWS" more than the other national/state news (fake news?). As 
DX'ers, that's what we do...we have our priorities right!!!!  :-))

The Bouvet team is doing the right thing, focusing on getting the camp 
established in a very secure manner before they attempt any operation. 
If you've ever seen video from the Peter 1 DXpedition you know the 
extreme conditions they must work in, even on what appears to be a sunny 
day on Bouvet. Its a very hard and difficult job however rest assured 
once the camp is established and everything is ready to go, the 
excellent ops on this DXpedition will be EVERYWHERE, just like Santa 
Claus.

I have no specific insight into when they will fire up, however I expect 
it at anytime. I hope you are ready, you've had plenty of time to 
prepare!!!

Mother Nature, though, threw a WHAMMY to some with the ice storm the 
past few days. Earl, N5ZM, got really whacked with ice. Hopefully the 
predicted increase in temperatures today will ease the pain. Fortunately 
here in the Searcy area and up in Batesville at K5EJ we received mostly 
sleet. A lot of it, but not as bad as if it had all been freezing rain. 
Temps reached 34 degrees here yesterday and the iced up and frozen 
rotors all eased up and are running again (but I already had them all 
turned to 3Y).

So ADXA folks, be on HOT STANDBY for 3Y0J to fire up at any minute. When 
they do, you want what to do:

GET IN THERE AND WORK 'EM !!!!!!!!!!!!
