[SFDXA] Bouvet again???

[Pete Rimmel N8PR]

Are they fishing for $$ or really gonna go?

>From the Ohio/Penn DX bulletin: 

3Y0I BOUVET DXPEDITION NEWS. 

On December 20th, the 3Y0I team posted a
very large update on their Rebel DX Group Web site at:
                         https://www.rebeldxgroup.com
  In short, the press release talks about their "50-day long training
and preparation period" prior to their DXpedition "to Amateur Radio?s
?Mount Everest?; 3Y0I from Bouvet Island." They also wrote about their
boat/ship that they will use for the DXpedition. The name of the ship
was not provided, but the ship has been "entirely refurbished and 
refitted", and "at a cost north of a million dollars." The team also
talks about their zodiac ?type? high power boats, ham radio equipment 
and their "unique QSL cards designed by Stan, SP8S, (there are no such 
cards in the history of ham radio, yet). Again, the complete press 
release update can be found on the above Rebel DX Group Web site (or 
OPDX subscriber can read it below at the end of the bulletin). 
No other details to report, other than that there were a few 3Y0I pirates
active recently. Departure dates are still not known. It is still a
mystery... 
  Remember, it takes 12 days to get to Bouvet from South Africa, and they
plan to stay on the island for at least 2 weeks, if the weather cooperates.
