That is correct, I did not make it clear they were operating maritime mobile (call sign 3G9A/MM) on 40 and 20 CW and ft-8 on 20.

They are well underway on their ship closing in on South Georgia Island. You can trace the ship's course here: https://share.garmin.com/bouvet It takes a while to update, but it will. I find it humorous that their elevation reported appears to change randomly between 100' under water to more than 100' above. Their main web site is quite impressive but not very up to date and is not interactive, here: http://www.bouvetdx.org/ All the action seems to be on Facebook. On their web site there is a link to their Facebook group in the upper right corner. You can browse all the content without having a Facebook account. There are a number of nice videos, mostly from their ship's departure from Punta Arenas. The ship looks super modern with a ultra modern and high tech bridge. Again, I apologize to those who are annoyed by OT postings, but this is after all the DX expedition of this century (likely the most costly in history) and I have been surprised about how low profile it has had on the Internet. They are qrv /MM (but their activity seems to mostly CW on 40m. I have yet to see a spot on the cluster. BTW, Bouvet Island is a Norwegian possession (undisputed as far as I know) and the crew has two veteran members, Erling and Just.
