3Y0I NEWS UPDATE MARCH 7, 2019 : DXpedition team members are being asked to return to South Africa / Capetown to finalize vessel preparations! Here's a link to their FB page where the full announcement is posted...
--
3Y0I NEWS UPDATE FEB 20, 2019 : The Rebel DX'ers are now reporting that sea trials for the expedition vessel "Atlantic Tuna" will be taking place very soon. The ship has been re-outfitted and must pass this inspection before they can get underway to Bouvet. Once this task is completed they will then announce a targeted departure date. Here's a link to the Rebel DX team announcement...
--
3Y0I NEWS UPDATE Jan 2, 2019: The 3Y0I DXpedition team has identified the "Atlantic Tuna" as the vessel that will make the trip to Bouvet Island. Details here...

The DX Rebel / 3Y0I team is reported to still be in South Africa and are pre-assembling some of the antenna's in the ship's cargo hold. Speculation and rumors about the departure date, landing plans, QRV date, etc., are widespread. ONLY trust "official" sources of information - available at the 3Y0I DXpedition websites linked on the left hand upper side of this page!


The Rebel DX Group (the DXpedition's organizer) is understandably excited but are keeping their cards close. As with all major DXpeditions, funding is a never ending challenge and donations from individual hams will play an important role. Many of us are supporting this team's effort and you can help too!




3Y0I NEWS UPDATE - Dec 20 2018 : The DX Rebel / 3Y0I team has just made an announcement regarding the completion of training, logistics and the upcoming attempt to activate Bouvet. Read the complete news release here...
--
3Y0I NEWS UPDATE - Nov 26 2018 : This is an upcoming DXpedition with an unknown start date, month or even year. It could be 2018 - but maybe it's 2019. Who knows? One sure bet is that this operation to a summer time Bouvet Island, which remains windy, frozen and very inhospitable, should be quite interesting.
 
As we post this the 3Y0I Bouvet DXpedition team seems to be getting much closer to an actual departure date. The team members have gathered together in South Africa and are going through cold water rescue training, Zodiac launch drills, shelter construction, etc.

There are many wild rumors floating around in the ether about this DXpedition so please verify what you see or hear by checking with the "Official" 3Y0I sources linked above.

STAY TUNED! More updates coming very soon...
