Team Leader – We’re still negotiating the contracts for a DX-pedition to Bouvet Island. This DX-pedition will be a large scale operation with 20-24 operators and we are searching for 4-6 more CW/SSB operators to complete the team www.3y0k.com <http://www.3y0k.com/>.We are looking into several options how to execute the expedition, where the focus right now is the logistics of the helicopters. We previously in late June received the helicopter permit from Norwegian Polar Institute, and thus have all permits we need to activate Bouvetøya. The helicopter permit allow us to setup camp on either the SE or the SW side of the island. In 1927, the first Norvegia expedition
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hjalmar_Riiser-Larsen…> landed on Bouvetøya, and claimed it for Norway. They also landed on “Larsøya” a small rocky island at the SW part of Bouvetøya. Our landing permit extend from the plateau above this SW corner all the way to the SE part at Cape Fie. 99 years after the Norvegia expedition we plan to land on Bouvetøya with helicopters. Our permit is valid for a helicopter operation in the period November 2025 to March 2026.
