[OKDXA] The 3Y5X Story

[Jeff Martin]

For an interesting story read "The Club Bouvet, 3Y5X, Story" from QST 
October 1990.

This was by far the most successful Bouvet DXpedition, making some 
47,000 QSOs... This was the one I worked for Bouvet.

  You can get Oct 1990 QST from the ARRL website, QST Archives. Note the 
similarities and differences experienced by the 3Y5X group and the 3Y0J 
group... Some notable differences: Total number of QSOs, % of QSOs with 
NA, Cost - $330K vs $715K. Location - 3Y5X camped on the NW coast of the 
island at Nyroysa, 3Y0J camped at Cape Fie on the SE coast. 3Y5X group 
had a helicopter...
  If you have trouble accessing the QST archive, I can send you a .pdf of 
the article...
