Bouvet Island DXpedition update The following was reported on the Rebel DX Group FaceBook page [edited]: "Rebel team update. We are on track with 3Y0I Bouvet project. Still missing some budget but we are getting closer and closer. Second attempt will take place in December 2020. "Before December, Rebels are moving to Pacific to activate Banaba Island (callsign secured T33T). This activity will start in first half of 2020. After Banaba we will sail to T2 Tuvalu (working on callsign T22T). During April we will also be active from 2 IOTAs: OC-156 and OC-121 Stay tuned." OPDX

This issue was the opposite. I had to table a couple of articles for the Spring issue. We want to thank Robert Brandon, K5PI, for giving us a great article on their DXpedition to TX7T as well as Shabu Ramakrishnan, M0KRI, and their exciting 3 man operation in VU7RI. I did have a half page to fill, so I thought I'd add some fun with a DX crossword puzzle. Cheesy or fun? Let me know."
