Jim & Mark,
Thanks for the very useful links and program info!
Best of luck to all of you to work 3Y0J on many bands/modes!

The last big expedition to Bouvet was 1990, and I was lucky to work 3Y5X on 10,15, and 20 CW but would like to get this team on phone, plus the WARC bands and as many band/modes as possible (including FT8).

Take time to work these guys! It will likely be another 30-40 yrs before it's ever activated again due to the extreme location and extreme cost of the trip.
