[Elecraft] OT: 3Y0Z Bouvet Island DXpedition

The elevation discrepancies are normal - I see the same effect whendriving around down here in South Florida, randomly dropping to 10-20feet below sea level. The civilian GPS systems are not configured forextreme elevation accuracy, particularly when close to sea level.

The main web site's position reporting may be outdated because, I think,that they're relaying their position via satellite (Iridium, perhaps?) whichcan get pretty expensive. Given the length of the journey, it's probablynot worthwhile providing hour-by-hour position updates. They'll get therewhen they get there, and they'll get on the air after they get things set up.
