*VP0SG -- South Georgia Dxpedition 2027 (Press Release #3)*

 From various sources (edited by OPDX):

Written by Erwann, LB1QI -- MAY 3, 2026

*Amateur Radio DXpeditions March 2027 DXpedition to*
*South Georgia Island (VP0SG) – Press Release 3, May 2026*
*
*
Second Young Operator Announced – Strong Focus on the
Next Generation.

Announcing our second young operator: Big focus on the next generation.
*Amateur Radio DXpeditions (ARD)* is pleased to announce that *Leon 
Hellmich,*
*DL3ON,* will be joining the VP0SG South Georgia 2027 expedition as our
second young operator, following the previous announcement of *Violetta,*
*KN2P.*

Leon, 22, studies electrical engineering at the Technical University of
Munich. He discovered amateur radio in 2020 and quickly became involved
in contests. Operating from DQ2A (formerly DQ2C), he developed strong
contest and CW skills, earning him invitations to participate in major
multi-operator events.

His experience includes operations from ES9C (Estonia) during the 2022
CQ WW SSB, as well as subsequent contests from PJ2T and J62K. He also
operated as I44P at the 2022 WRTC in Italy, where he was the youngest
participant. More recently, Leon was part of the DX S21WD expedition to
Bangladesh in March 2026.

In addition to his on-air work, Leon is actively involved in the Young-
sters On The Air (YOTA) program, contributing to the organization and
documentation of youth camps across Europe. Alongside his studies, he
serves as a student representative and is actively involved in managing
his university's radio club station.

The VP0SG team places great emphasis on mentorship and generational
continuity in DX expeditions, in line with the values ​​promoted by leading
amateur radio community organizations. The inclusion of young operators
like KN2P and DL3ON reflects our commitment to ensuring the next gener-
ation gains hands-on experience in complex, real-world DX environments.
We are pleased to confirm that a third young operator will be announced
soon, continuing this effort to support and develop future DX expeditions.

On the regulatory front, we are pleased to report that our application to
the Government of South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands (GSGSSI)
has been received positively, and the project is expected to enter the
formal review phase in the coming weeks. Based on the constructive ex-
changes to date, we remain confident in the process.

Logistically, the project continues to progress, and the first major mile-
stone related to our expedition vessel, the *MV MEREDIAN*, is fast approach-
ing. As a privately funded expedition, VP0SG relies on the support of the
amateur radio community. Therefore, we are actively seeking initial financ-
ial contributions from clubs, foundations, and individual donors to meet
future commitments and ensure the success of this exceptional activation.

We will publish more updates soon.

ARD is a non-profit organization committed to activating exceptional
DXCC entities through sustainable, technically sound expeditions with
global impact. ARD's projects emphasize youth inclusion, operational
excellence, and environmental responsibility.

*3G0YM -- Easter Island (Update May 3rd)*

 From QRZ.com (edited by OPDX):
*/Manu – CE3YMR
3G0YM Expedition posts the following:/*

*News – Rapa Nui DX Expedition:*

One of the most challenging bands in amateur radio is the 6-meter
band, due to its unpredictable behavior and variable propagation
conditions. For this reason, a *3-element* Yagi antenna will be incorpor-
ated for the 6-meter band, which will allow us—if conditions permit—
to activate this attractive band, highly sought after by radio amateurs.”

*RI1FJL -- Franz Josef Land (Update May 3rd)*

 From R7AL and RI1FJL Web page (edited by OPDX):

Written by R7AL:
   I have just received a written response from the Northern Hydrometeor-
ology and Environmental Monitoring Administration, accepting accommodation
for the expedition participants at the ET Krenkel weather station on Heiss
Island. This is a major milestone in the expedition preparations! Accommod-
ation will be provided privately.

   There's also a change in the team. Alexander, R2DVE, had to withdraw
from the expedition. His place will be taken by Ruslan, UA4Z, one of
Russia's top contestants, who will undoubtedly strengthen the team.

Thank you so much to everyone who has already supported the expedition
with their donations!
