Fellow EIDXA Members,


Received this from Mike - NA5U (3Y0Z Bouvet Island Fundraising Lead) regarding our contribution to the upcoming 3Y0Z DXpedition. Mike references an attachment in his email that can be downloaded. It is a very nice poster of the team and is now posted on the EIDXA.ORG website home page (thanks Graig - K0CF for getting it posted).


73,


Joe - K8OM


Dear Members of the Eastern Iowa DX Association,

On behalf of the Bouvet Island DXpedition-2018, thank you for your kind
contribution.

Please accept this small gift (download the attachment) to recognize your DX
Club/Organization's important and generous contribution toward the Bouvet
DXpedition-2018 expenses.  As you probably know, this is likely the most
expensive DXpedition ever attempted.

It is dedicated and generous DX organizations like yours that make
DXpeditions such as this possible, and we are pleased that you are now one
of our important supporters.

One of the goals of the Bouvet Island DXpedition-2018 is to provide at least
one QSO to every DXer who needs this #2 ranked DXCC entity for an all-time
new one (ATNO).   Also, we want to provide as many band/mode contacts needed
by DXers as we possibly can.   We believe we have the plan, the team and the
equipment to make this happen!

Your contribution will help make all this a reality for not only our team of
DXpeditioners, but for DXers, worldwide...THANK YOU!

See you in the pileups!

For the team,
Ralph Fedor - K?IR
Bob Allphin - K4UEE
Erling Wiig - LA6VM

In case you haven't seen the latest update from the 3Y0Z team.......

Press Release #4
Bouvet Island DXpedition 2018
December 7, 2016

The Bouvet Island DXpedition Team is happy to report the following:

After extensive examination, we have found a suitable landing zone on Bouvet Island and have identified what appears to be the best operating location in the area. Our proposed site is at 540 24' 23" South and 30  24' 39" East at approximately 600 ft. ASL.  This is on the Slakhallet Glacier on the northeast quadrant of Bouvet.   It is relatively flat with areas of maximum slope not exceeding 8 degrees.  This is well below slope levels that are prone to avalanches.  We have less information on the presence of crevasses, but do not detect any on the highest resolution images that we have.  Of course, an on-site inspection upon our initial helicopter landing will determine our actual operating location.

We have researched and selected our Antarctic shelters. These four shelters will house our stations, our sleeping quarters, and our eating and meeting facility (the MEG tent).  These were selected to survive the high winds, precipitation, and temperatures expected on Bouvet.  We will heat our operating shelter and the MEG tent.  Our sleeping shelters will not be heated for safety reasons.

The ten HF beams that served us so well on Amsterdam Island (FT5ZM) will accompany us to Bouvet.  We intend to deploy them on a line along 2400 to 600.  This will keep the antennas from beaming into each other when aimed at Europe, Japan, and North America.  Our verticals for 160, 80, 60, 40, and 30 meters will be placed to minimize interaction.  Images of our antenna plans, shelter layouts, and shelter interiors are on our website.

The Japanese support team has reorganized and will be led by Hiro, JA4DND.  Joe, JJ3PRT, will be our new pilot for Japan.  JA4BUA, Kuwa, will be in charge of web and IT duties, and JK1KSB, Oku, will do our public relations.  In addition, we've added a VK-ZL-Oceania pilot, VK6VZ.

Our on-line store has opened!  You can now shop at Caf? Press for 3Y0Z souvenirs --- mugs, hats, cups, T-shirts, etc.  You can purchase fun and usable products and at the same time...support the 3Y0Z team. (www.cafepress.com/3y0z)

Our Facebook page, 3Y0Z-Bouvet Island DXpedition, now has over 1500 followers.  Stop by for photos, articles, updates, and meeting fellow DXers.

Fundraising is an on-going process for us.  This is a demanding and expensive project;
possibly the most expensive DXpedition ever. We ask for your financial support. Please click on our "Donate" buttons on our website and help us make this happen.

The Bouvet Island DXpedition-2018 Team wishes you and your families a wonderful Holiday season and a New Year filled with DX!

This is a GOOD meeting!!!

I'm obligated to attend each year for the annual NCDXF board meeting.   Even if I were not on the board, I'd attend this meeting.

I'd encourage any DXer (or contester) to "test the waters" in California.   There are usually 900+ in attendance with a couple days of "only DX" activities.

Contact me off-line if anyone has questions.

I have FlexRadio 6700 and 6500 loaner radios.   They are in perfect shape.

 

Flex wants to sell these before the end of the year with a huge discount.
If seriously considering upgrading to a FlexRadio, please contact me off
reflector for details.

 

(I will be sent new loaners after the first of the year.)

	IF anyone is still interested, call Matt Youngblood at FlexRadio.   He
thinks he can find something for the same prices.

A big thank you to Bob and Jim for your efforts! It is
very much appreciated!

Happy Holidays!

Craig has posted the January 2017 newsletter on our web site.

http://eidxa.org/Newsletter/Newsletter.html


A few notes about the new format:


   - It is being distributed via your web browser rather than a .pdf file.
   This allows more flexibility in content and formatting.  Just click on the
   link on our newsletter page.



   - The items in the "In this issue" section have links to the content
   within the newsletter.  Clicking on the title will take you directly to the
   section.  The "Back" arrow on your browser will return you to the beginning.



   - External links will open in a separate window.  What may not be
   obvious is in the "Upcoming Events" section.  In this issue, for example,
   if you click on the meeting for CVARC, it will take you to the CVARC home
   page.



   - If you wish to zoom in or out, CTRL+ and CTRL- are supported in most
   browsers


Enjoy and Merry Christmas
