ARLA/CLUSTER: DXpedition à Ilha de Bouvet em 2017 ou 2018.

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

" A ilha Bouvet  é uma possessão norueguesa na extremidade sul do oceano
Atlântico.

A Ilha Bouvet é a mais isolada ilha desabitada do mundo, estando localizada
a mais de 1600 km da Terra da Rainha Maud, na Antártida, que é o pedaço de
terra mais próximo. Além da Antártida, as outras distâncias a partir de
Bouvet são ainda maiores, chegando a 1835 km até a ilha Gough, no
território britânico de Santa Helena, Ascensão e Tristão da Cunha; a 1852
km até a ilha Montagu, no também território britânico das Ilhas Geórgia do
Sul e Sandwich do Sul; a 2498 km até ao cabo da Boa Esperança, na �frica do
Sul; e a 2504 km
até à ilha Marion, no arquipélago sul-africano das Ilhas do Príncipe Eduardo.
O custo de uma DXpedition a esta Ilha, n.º 2 no ranking das mais
solicitadas, estava orçamentado em mais de 100 000€ por pessoa em 2016 e
foi cancelada por falta de fundos. "

Bouvet Island DXpedition

An international team of operators will be active as *3Y0Z* from Bouvet
Island (AN-002) in early 2018.

Operators mentioned are Franz/DJ9ZB, Nodir/EY8MM, Jorge/HK1R, Ralph/K0IR,
Bob/K4UEE, Craig/K9CT, Erling/LA6VM, a second LA op (TBN), George/N4GRN,
Arnie/N6HC, Jim/N9TK, Jeff/NM1Y, Michael/PA5M, Andy/UA3AB, Neil/VA7DX,
Steve/VE7CT, Glenn/W0GJ, Gregg/W6IZT, Hal/W8HC and Jerry/WB9Z.

Activity (TBA) will probably be on 160-10 meters on CW, SSB and RTTY. QSL
Manager for the 3Y0Z DXpedition will be Bob, N2OO. A Web page is now active
at: http://www.bouvetdx.org

[Press Release #2 -- Bouvet DXpedition 2017-2018 -- dated August 11, 2016]
We are pleased to announce that our website www.bouvetdx.org is now active.
Now, you can see more about our plans to activate the #2 DXCC "most wanted"
entity. You will also meet the operating TEAM. You will recognize most, if
not all the call signs as these operators have given out millions of
DXpedition QSOs over the years.

We plan to be QRV on Bouvet on all available bands using the common
modes with the very best antennas, radios, and amplifiers. The duration
of our visit to "the most remote island on Earth" may be as long as three
weeks, weather permitting of course. As with our many previous DXpeditions,
we expect to make tens of thousands of QSOs. That is our #1 goal,
consistent with the safety of the operating team.

Now that the website is up, we are officially beginning our fund-raising
program. As with our other DXpeditions, the operating team is committed
to provide one half (50%) of the DXpedition costs. We are asking DX
foundations, DX clubs, individual DXers and equipment vendors to provide
the remainder. We believe this arrangement is fair and equitable. As
always, you have the option of using PayPal, a credit card or a
personal/club check.

We appreciate you becoming our partner in very expensive under taking.

73, For the TEAM,


*Ralph-K0IR Bob-K4UEE Erling-LA6VM*
