3Y0L Peter I Island 2027
3Y0L Peter I Island 2027. As we just witnessed with the HUGE Bouvet 3Y0K Pileups, real DXing is for the deserving. Are you ready for some DX?
The Lazy Way, FT8
The Lazy Way, FT8. It struck me today while hunting XX9W and S21WD, DXing today is a ghost of what it used to be. Other than the recent 3Y0K Bouvet DX
3Y0K 10 Meters CW
3Y0K 10 Meters CW. Well that was a surprise! For the past week or so the CW & SSB 10 Meter openings to Bouvet Island were pretty weak starting around
3Y0K 80M CW
3Y0K 80M CW. Boy oh boy oh boy. QRM can make you mad. Intentional or not. Just after 3Y0K's sunrise this evening, they came out of the mud on 80 CW nicely.
3Y0K 20M Longpath Signal
3Y0K 20M Longpath Signal. What a signal from 3Y0K on Bouvet via the Longpath this morning! After this SSB recording he only got stronger! N0UN working 3Y0K 20M SSB
3Y0K 40M CW = Hard Work
I started another recording now 30 minutes after their sunrise (0540Z) and 3Y0K is much, MUCH stronger. IF I knew they would get this loud I would've waited to call.
CQ DX!
I read news 3Y0K Bouvet may (or may not) be on the air so I figured what the heck, I'll point my antenna over Asia and call CQ DX. 9N1CA and XV9R called in!
ON BOUVET!
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...
Bouvet 3Y0K DQRM Band Plan
Bouvet 3Y0K DQRM BAND PLAN. I love it! Ken (LA7GIA) and his Team have announced a plan to mitigate Deliberate QRM when necessary. On the 3Y0K.com
3Y0K Vessel Docked In South Africa
3Y0K Vessel Docked In South Africa. Looks the the vessel "Argus" has docked in Cape Town South Africa according to the Marine Traffic Website. I suspect they're
HamClock End of Life
HamClock End of Life. I'm pretty sure by now almost all Hams have heard; the creator of HamClock, Elwood Downey WB0OEW ended his life on Jan 29, 2026.
Bouvet 3Y0K
Bouvet 3Y0K. A friendly reminder for the upcoming Bouvet DXpedition in about a month from now. For North America the "Longpath" on the higher bands is probably
N0UN FT-Hater Fan Club
N0UN FT-Hater Fan Club. Judging by numerous N0UN CW & FT8 duplicate Q's over the last 10 days in the KP5/NP3VI log, I'd say the N0UN FT-Hater Club is hard at it
KP3/NP3VI Desecheo Stats
KP3/NP3VI Desecheo Stats. Club Log stats for KP5/NP3VI. Of 18,934 Q's (so far) since they've been "on the air" - 53% are FT8 contacts, 7% are SSB and 40% are CW
KP5/NP3VI 20M SSB
KP5/NP3VI 20M SSB. And this is why I record most of my QSO's. So I can go back and make sure I got it right. In this case I did not. Clear as day you can hear
