3Y0L Peter I Island 2027.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, “Are You Ready For Some DX?” As we just witnessed with the HUGE Bouvet 3Y0K Pileups, real DXing is for the deserving. Showing up to a gunfight with a water pistol doesn’t cut it. The Internet is full of folks after the fact who are crying the blues they didn’t make the 3Y0K log. Over 102,000 Q’s with beams & amplifiers tells me the Bouvet Team went way out of their way to create a signal to get folks in their logs. And they did it on every band and mode! The 3Y0K Team spent weeks upon weeks away from home and survived unbelievable harsh physical & mental conditions in the Antarctic to put on their show and get you in their log. So now I have to ask, “what did you do to increase your odds of making their log?”
Did you put up a new antenna? Maybe increase your power level(s)? Fine tune resonance on that long wire? Move your work schedule around a bit? The good news with the 3Y0L Peter I Island Expedition is you have some time to get your plan & station in order. With the 3Y0L Expedition scheduled for February of next year you have this Spring, Summer and Fall to get some aluminum and RF in the air. Best get with it!
And for all you Naysayers (like VK0LD Alan Chesire and his sockpuppets) that said LA7GIA’s Bouvet would NEVER happen? Well, last time I looked Ken and his Team(s) have now done it TWICE! That’s TWO times more than anybody else. Ken has proven time and time again he doesn’t need to justify anything to anybody. His reputation stands on his record of successful activations. Maybe (just maybe) somewhere along the line you Naysayers have figured out you’re just making yourselves look like imbeciles? Step aside and give it a rest Naysayers, your constant attempts at scuttling his expeditions aren’t good for our hobby. We can only hope you quit, right?
In the meantime I can’t wait to hear you real DXers in those thunderous 3Y0L “Human Mode” pileups next year AND in every pileup in between!
