3Y0K Bouvet (2026)

This is a challenging project logistic wise where vessel and helicopter must be coordinated, and the contracts placed sufficient time ahead.
 
We have studied various offers for boat and helicopter services, in line with the scope of this project. Due to the postponement from 2025 to 2026 we also had to renegotiate the terms. We are now in the final stage of negotiating the vessel and helicopter contracts for the 3Y0K Bouvet Island DX-pedition anticipated for 2026 www.3y0k.com <http://www.3y0k.com/> We have agreed on the important price elements in these contracts, and will release more info once we have all details completed.
 
For now we aim to fully finance this trip upfront. This is a major DX-pedition where we also team up with a small private group to share the cost and risk for this DX-pedition. In addition the funding of this trip significantly depend on us building a team of 20 operators to finance the budget. We’re 14 operators and are actively looking for another 6 operators to complete the team.
 
As we are approaching the final stage of the negotiations we are again reaching out to anyone who wants to join our team to participate in this one in a lifetime adventure. We estimate to stay around the island for 21 days and the total duration should be around 40 days.
 
Should you wish to join our team please contact [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> or Cezar VE3LYC directly. For Peter I we are still looking for another 3 operators before the team is complete.

Charles M0OXO

I was born in the 1960’s and have lived all my life in the Coal Mining Town of Barnsley in South Yorkshire, Northern England. My parents were all from this area of Yorkshire and my father worked in the main Industry of the local Collieries as a face worker. I have been married to my wife Debbie for 35+ years and we have two children and two grandchildren.

I have been licensed for around 20 years after my interest was re-kindled when I retired from my role as a Police Officer within South Yorkshire Police Force. The latter few years were spent as Radio Operator in the Force Operations Control Room at Sheffield, before my career ended.

IOTA chasing is (and always has been) my real passion, as climbing the ladder to reach Honour Roll status was always my main aim. The 1000 Islands Trophy is still out of reach but I am heading in the right direction. I am currently a Board Member of IOTA Ltd and IREF.

In my free time I am a keen Photographer of Wildlife, Aviation, (anything really) but the QSL Manager role is my main passion within Ham Radio.
