Hello Frank, You have every reason in the world to wonder ! HII just read the article and too many details dont make sense. Just " frozen ground". This was supposed to be at sea level where the ground never freezes. Going ashore in a lifeboat - just cannot be done. BUT , at the time the island was virtually " terra incognito", untill NPI did a very thorough survey some years later , when 3Y1VC and 3Y5DQ were there. Today we have detailed maps and a lot of data, including WX from a unmanned WX-stn. 73 Rag la5he Hello Rag, I always wondered about Gus Browning's LH4C DXpedition, and the accuracy of this article, given the extreme difficulty of landing on Bouvet. http://archive.org/stream/73-magazine-1967-10/10_October_1967#page/n86/mode/ 1up I first started DXing in 1960 as K1LPL http://hamgallery.com/qsl/country/USA/Rhode_Island/k1lpl.htm The DX bug bit me hard in 1962 during Gus Browning's second DXpedition.

Hello Frank, My first QSO with Don Miller was in 1959. I was in the Army in Ansbach, Germany. My call was DL4SH and I worked Don on 15 CW. He was WN9WNV on Lake Shore Drive in Chicago. I think I have his QSL, if I look a bit. If I find it, I will post it. I had a private DL call and it cost me $0.75 a month. I made $100.00 a month in the Army. 73...Price W0RI Hi Carl, My first QSO with Don Miller was in 1963 when he was in the army as HL9KH .
