If you’re keeping your ears tuned for the start of the 3YØK DXpedition to Bouvet Island, the thing you’re going to need more than good propagation, sufficient power, a good antenna and, of course, good timing is…patience. The team’s plans have been delayed by about two weeks, according to their website. Their sailing vessel is undergoing additional maintenance to secure it for the journey to the remote island. The team writes: [quote] “While this delay is disappointing, the safety of our team remains our highest priority.” [Endquote]

According to the team, nothing else about the team’s game plan has changed and after three years of planning, they are looking forward to being QRV before too long.
