Update 12 Jan 2025: The 3Y0K Dxpedition website is now online and it has been updated with the latest information. Given the budget size, donations are welcome! 

From AMSAT-HB: "Founding member and vice president of AMSAT-HB, Wolfgang Sidler HB9RYZ (QO-100 Dx Club #194), will personally take part in the Dxpedition 3Y0K.

The island is located approximately 1,700 km off the coast of Antarctica and is one of the most searched countries of all. And it looks like Bouvet has never been activated on satellite! Wolfgang told us that Bouvet will also be activated via QO-100.

Bouvet is a tough place. Dokufunk lists 24 expedition projects on Bouvet (not including the last one from 3Y0J). Some projects did not make it past the planning phase, others were unable to land or had to end the expedition early.

Activation via satellite is not documented on the Dokufunk website.

We wish Wolfgang much success and fantastic experiences on Bouvet!

Activation is planned for January 2026. Of course, we will report on further events here as soon as possible."

TNX AMSAT-HB and Florian, DF2ET for the fantastic news.
