Ken LA7GIA (3Y0K Team lead):
We just finished a very successful expedition to Bouvetøya in the South Atlantic Ocean. What an incredible trip! Depsite all the challenges, the team overcome each of them. We made contact with 102.000 persons during our 15 day stay. We encountered harsh conditions, snow, and wind sometimes was so strong we could barely walk outdoor. Bouvetøya is a beautiful island, but is known for its remoteness and unpredictable weather. The team worked well together and we're proud of having made 100k contacts under these conditions. Today everyone is safely back on the vessel and we're bound for Cape Town this weekend. Thanks to everyon who supported us and who was in the pileup!
Great opening late on 10 Meters CW this morning! n0un.net/3y0k-10-meters-cw/

Dom-3D2USU is a damn fool who tried to invent a new Hamradio, ruining years and years of HamSpirit. That's why he and DX World are such good friends. And yet, after letting the 3Y0K project be heavily criticized, DX World is now publishing information about the Team in Bouvet.

Despite DX World and its cronies, 3Y0K is proving to be a huge success.
Congratulations, guys, and thanks for your hard work!

Day 9 at sea:
The helicopter resumed operations and continued transporting supplies to the island just after 06:00 in the morning. However, due to the short weather window, we were unable to bring additional personnel ashore today. Tomorrow morning is still expected to be good, so flying operations will continue.
Day 8 at sea:
I woke up this morning at 09:40, just in time for the helicopter practice. In the afternoon, when the weather improved, we began flying supplies and personnel onshore. The first test flight took off at 17:02, and we continued with two more passengers and three more cargo round trips until 19:05. Unfortunately, I didn’t manage to get on the helicopter before sunset.
We will continue transporting the remaining supplies and personnel to the island tomorrow. Hoping the weather will be good.

Day 7 at sea:
Today is our arrival day. We officially entered Norwegian territorial waters at 06:35 (UTC+1) and spotted Bouvet Island for the first time around 9 am.
Our ship is currently holding position about one nautical mile northeast of Bouvet Island. According to the weather forecast, there may be a window of good weather just before sunset tomorrow. We will review with the helicopter pilot for the latest weather conditions and decide on the landing time tomorrow in the morning.
Stay tuned.
