HAMS SIMPLY ROCK!

You guys simply rock! After the dramatic update with the news about 3YØI’s fate almost right in front of Bouvet Island, there’s a real avalanche of emails, Facebook messages, and SMSs coming from all around the world. Each and everyone is similar: full of cheerful words of support shared with the Team and crew at Atlantic Tuna + cordial wishes for a safe trip back home.

We couldn’t expect more at this particular, critical moment, and the entire Team is so much grateful for your approach and willingness to support our venture. We now know that we gained your trust and follow up. Also, that kind of feedback just proved what it’s all about and why we’re all here: bringing one of the most wanted DXCC entities, with our own hands, efforts, and funds, on the air for the amateur radio enthusiasts around the world. Yet, this all encourages us to keep on trying to activate Bouvet Island again – against all odds.

We’re in touch with family members and we already managed to pass the most critical and GOOD news that the Team is safe and going home.

One more time: the 3YØI DXpedition is not over. it’s just the beginning of the biggest adventure of our lives. We’re so happy we can share a piece of it with the community of the most interdisciplinary hobby in the world. You’re all now an important part of the Bouvet’s ham radio conquest story, too!
