Press Release from the Intrepid-DX Group
3Y0J Dxpedition to Bouvet Island, January/February 2023
As we completed our successful VP8STI-South Sandwich and
VP8SGI-South Georgia DXpeditions in 2016, we began to plan
for our next Dxpedition. Our target is the Norwegian Island Bouvet.
This is the #2 most wanted DXCC entity.
At this time, it gives us great pleasure to announce that we have
joined forces with Intrepid Norwegian DXpeditioner Ken Opskar
LA7GIA in our quest to activate Bouvet. Together, in January 2023,
14 men will board the Braveheart in Capetown and make the
treacherous voyage to Bouvet. We will plan to spend twenty days at
Bouvet and weather permitting, we plan to have 14 to 16 good days of 
radio activity.
This will be an arduous and expensive mission. Our budget is $764,000
USD and the 3Y0J team will fund much of this mission. We desperately
need the global DX Community to support our mission and help us make
this important activation of the #2 most wanted DXCC entity. It is only
through this kind of support that we can achieve our mission of making
100,000 contacts or more from Bouvet.
We plan to make best use of Propagation and Modes on 10-160 meters.
We pledge to assemble the strongest team possible and to use good
operating practices to optimize your ability to reach our stations.
We are confident that the Braveheart crew can get us there and back
safely.
In closing, we especially wish to recognize and thank the Northern
California DX Foundation and the International DX Association as our
premier donors. Without the support of the NCDXF and INDEXA,
operations to the world’s rarest entities would not be possible.
