*NCDXF Announces Major Grant Award To 3YØJ Bouvet Island DXpedition*

The Northern California DX Foundation is pleased to announce it will be the Lead 
Sponsor ($100,000) to the Intrepid DX Group’s 3YØJ Bouvet Island DXpedition 
planned for January/February 2023.   Bouvet Island is currently ranked #2 
globally on the Club Log <https://clublog.org/mostwanted.php>Most Wanted List.

NCDXF-supported DXpeditions have activated many of the ten most-needed 
entities.  NCDXF-funded DXpeditions during Cycle 24 have put well over 1 million 
QSOs into DXers’ logs!   We expect to continue this mission for Cycle 25 and beyond.

DXpedition.

DXpeditions to rare entities like Bouvet Island that are so remote are becoming 
more expensive and difficult to reach, a trend that we believe will continue.   
In the last three years, two DXpeditions have attempted activation of Bouvet, 
but severe storms damaged ships that were so very close.

NCDXF’s primary purpose is to help fund well-organized DXpeditions to desirable 
DXCC entities like Bouvet Island. During the last 49 years, NCDXF has granted 
nearly $1.3 million to hundreds of DXpeditions – helping to put an 
“all-time-new-one” (ATNO) in the log and make DX happen for thousands of DXers 
worldwide. The credit for these large grants goes to the NCDXF contributors, 
individuals and clubs who support the DX community.  Without those 
contributions, DXpeditions to entities like Bouvet or other desirable locations 
would not be possible.

If you agree with the importance of NCDXF's work, and if you are not a current 
contributor, we hope you will become one today by going to 
http://www.ncdxf.org/pages/join_renew.html 
<http://www.ncdxf.org/pages/join_renew.html>.  Your contribution will continue 
to help make DX happen.  You can also support future DXpeditions by including 
the NCDXF Cycle 25 Fund in your estate plan.

We wish the Intrepid DX Group a safe and very successful trip to Bouvet Island.
