3Y0Z: BOUVET 2018 ---> "After weeks of inventorying, packing, padding, and
weighing supplies and equipment", the 3Y0Z team reported on 10 October (see
http://www.bouvetdx.org/), "we have sealed our container and loaded it
aboard a truck bound for the port of Savannah. The container will go by sea
to Manzanillo (Mexico); by rail to Balboa (Panama); then by sea to San
Antonio (Chile), Copihue (Chile) and finally Punta Arenas (Chile). The
contents will be taken aboard our ship in Punta Arenas and meet our team at
King George Island in the South Shetlands on 13 January 2018".
FT5XT ---> Gildas, F4HQZ (ex TU5KG) usually operates /mm when in the Crozet
(FT5WQ) and Kerguelen (FT5XT) waters during his fishing campaigns in the
Southern Indian Ocean. On 11 October, however, he was able to land and be
QRV from the Kerguelen Islands (AF-084) for a couple of hours on 20 and 15
metres SSB. QSL direct to F4DXW; logsearch will be available on Club Log.
RI1F --- The DXpedition to Viktoriya Island (EU-190), Franz Jozef Land went
QRT earlier than expected, around 12 UTC on 8 October, as polar bears
roaming around the camp and even peeping into the tents were becoming a
major problem. Reportedly the RI1F team made some 12,000 QSOs, and will
upload the logs to Club Log when they are back on the mainland.
