Re: Topband: 3Y0I

Correct Jamie.  That is apparently the current info.

Any prior posts about a December 15th sailing deadline were moot months 
ago and apparently have since been altered/removed.


Both DX News and DX Maps have removed any references to a December 15th 
sailing date.

There is no date for if/when they are sailing to 3Y0I.

Bouvet trip. As soon as situation will be more clear we will update
our schedule for 3y0

Hi Jim,

I google searched again for 3Y0I - and none of the announcements (Dec 
1, Aug 19 and Aug 18) on DX News and DX maps and other sites said 
anything about a Dec 15, 2021 date.


The only place that I can find the information about a Dec. 15, 2021 
date that you cite is from an an archived April 9th post on 425.


Can you provide the link to the information that you cited?

Re: Topband: 3Y0I - interested observer

[William Cromwell]

Hi,

I have never been much of a contester nor 'rabid' DXer. On my small lot 
with modest antennae I don't stand any chance at all putting a QSO with 
this station in the log. I am going to try and at least hear them. The 
conditions I live with make an SWL log for them an accomplishment if I 
can do even that much. I will be watching here for more info as the 
expedition progresses.

Re: Topband: 3Y0I DXpedition

[kq2m]

Hi Jim,

Can you please post a link to the announcement that they are leaving for 
3Y0I in two days? (Dec. 15) Their December 1 posting on DX World 
indicates that Fiji is open but does not say anything about a date when 
they are leaving for 3Y0.


Tnx & 73

Topbanders:

They are scheduled to depart for Bouvet in two days and the latest

I'm aware of the travel bans due to the omicron variant.

Does anyone have any updated info since then??

Thanks!

Topband: 3Y0I Postponed

[Jim Monahan]

3YØI POSTPONED

And yet! The captain of the MV Atlantic Tuna had to take a difficult but 
responsible decision to take a course back to Cape Town, South Africa. But the 
3YØI Expedition is NOT cancelled – we don’t give up that easily

I just had a long conversation with Dom 3Z9DX on board on the MV Atlantic Tuna. 
The seas calmed down enough to let them do a proper technical inspection of 
damages caused by the severe cyclonic storm last night. Here are more details 
on the latest dramatic events.

Topband: 3Y0I team riding out a severe storm

[donovanf]

Update: 0355Z March 27, 2019. We have communicated with 
our Rebel Pilot Andre (V51B) who Dom called just minutes ago 
via the Atlantic Tuna’s satellite phone. The 3Y0I Team and Crew 
of the Atlantic Tuna are OK. They have turned the ship with the 
winds to the east and are riding out a severe storm. Absolutely 
terrible conditions at the moment. There is hope that calm skies 
are a few hours away. Operating the radios during the turbulent 
sea is impossible. We expect another update 12 hours from now.

36 N-miles in 5.5 hrs = 6.5 kts pretty good to hold it that low if as 
reported 51 mph wind to 100 gusts. Enough speed to preserve steerage 
but as little as possible to minimize distance lost. 

Seems that the Captain knows what he is doing.
