[edited]: The 3Y0J team is looking for one more operator. Specifically
we're looking for a NA SSB operator. If you always have wanted to go on
a most wanted DXpedition like Bouvet then send us an email. We would
love to have you on the team, and can guarantee an exiting challenge!
It will be all hard work. You will have to sail for 10 days, get seasick,
then carry 6.3 metric ton into a zodiac, do a wet zodiac landing, fight
the elephant seals, climb a rock, haul all equipment up, install the camp
in harsh and cold environment, operate A LOT we have 12 radios one for
each, sleep in a cold place, no beer or steak being served but you eat
MRE, toilet is w/o insulation - but great seaview, be prepared for an
emergency evacuation and sail back for another 8 days. Team agreement
says you can talk your own native language in the pileup and say hello
to your friends in Romania, Germany, Colombia or whatever. There is no
shower for 3 weeks. The fee for this luxury vacation is only 20,000 USDs.
But you will have the biggest pileup ever. And if there is a shortfall
of donations you have to pay more.
   Requirements: (1) can take 7 weeks vacation in Jan/Feb 2023
                 (2) SSB contester or DXPedition experience
                 (3) from NA
