The Contiuning Saga of Bouvet Island

3Y0I to invite additional operators -- Some fresh news from Cape Town, South Africa.
The 3Y0I Team is about to deal with another extensive training next week + gathering some additional equipment we'll need at Bouvet Island. Also, new possibilities emerge: we can take 2 additional operators (CW + SSB) with us. If you're flexible operating - and weather- experienced individual, and willing to join 1-month long adventure of your life time, drop a msg asap at: k38dom@gmail.com. Be quick!"
Also, there has been several QSNs reported on the DXclusters by E51DOM/MM (mostly on FT8). This is reportedly Dom, 3Z9DX, "probably" operating from the ship that they will use to take them to Bouvet. Dom has stated that he will use this callsign during his sailing trips to several different locations in the World and "probably" on his way to Bouvet.
Departure dates are still not known. It is still a mystery...
Remember, they plan to stay on the island for at least 2 weeks, if the weather cooperates.
