3Y0Z Bouvet DXpedition news

We had an uneventful traverse of the Straits of Magellan, and are
currently just southeast of the Falkland Islands, making approximately
11 knots.

At the moment, we have fair winds and following seas, and our weather
forecast looks good for the next 12 hours. However, the weather can
change quickly in this part of the world.

Our team is in good spirits, but one or two are feeling the effects of
moderate seasickness.

We have one maritime mobile station active, with most of our QSOs on
20 and 40m. We are running 100 watts to a Hustler vertical on the bow
of the ship and an OCF dipole hung from the bridge area. Our
transmissions include grid square information. We hope to add a second
station, soon.
