Finally, an update from the Rebel DX Group (Dom) ... Latest plan for Bouvet
is Nov/Dec 2021...
Hello folks
Things are going slow during pandemic, but we are going forward with our
plans. After visiting South Africa 2 months ago, we can confirm that all
equipment is ready for this year 2021(November - December) Bouvet operation
part 2.
We really hope this time wild ocean will cooperate with us.
In the mean time we are finally going back to our Rebel vessel located in
Fiji. Plans are to go back to Conway Reef for 3 weeks, Rotuma for 3 to 4
weeks and some very rare iotas around 3d2 zone. We will be testing some our
new ideas to operate 5 different stations on FT8 (FOX & HUND) at the same
time by 1 operator. (NO ROBOTS INVOLVED!!!!)
This will be video recorded. Some stationary test went very promising.
This (HATE OR LOVE) mode will defenently help some small pistols to get
rare DXCCs in to the log.
Just to remind you, our last trip to Conway (operated by 2 ops. Tack JE1CKA
and Dom 3z9dx) did over 33.828 Qso's in less than 8 days. That is world
record for QSO/DAY/Operator (2067 qso's a day/operator)

It means we are going to work DX not for party.
And now some very important words from the REBELS..
"Sincere thanks to my OH friends; OH0XX, OH1MA and our Rebel Ambasador
OH2BH, who promptly responded my urgent need of amplifiers and released
three (3) pcs of Juma 1000 light-weight amplifiers."
We had a plan to swap our amplifiers from heavy to light weight type. We got
them in less than 3 days from Finland.
Thank you again guys
Rebel Dx Team
