Ken LA7GIA gives an update on 3Y0K DXpedition:
"The logistics involved in getting all the equipment selected, designed, tested, packed and shipped to Norway has involved many persons, manufacturers, helpers and hard work for a long time. We started developing the 3Y0K DXpedition in April 2023, and it has taken us more than 2 years to get to this stage where soon all the equipment will be loaded into a container located in Nittedal, just outside Oslo, Norway. This container will not only be loaded with equipment, but other essentials like tents, provisions, safety and emergency equipment, evacuation gear, QRO generators and a lot more.
Our goal is to conduct a safe and sound DXpedition where our ability to adapt to the changing conditions is important. Four team members have experience from Bouvet Island 2023, and know what to expect – I can guarantee we will get onshore!
We hope to be loud with the Icom America Inc radios and ACOM amplifiers supported by DX Engineering hardware.
In 2 weeks we pay the $400,000 vessel deposit and at the time we ship the container in mid-September, we have spent $1,000,000 in total on this DXpedition and thousands of hours hard work."
