    Just saw on QRZ.COM and on my Facebook page that the Bouvet DXPedition has been aborted. Well, the weather down there has not been very nice at all. I had a feeling that this would happen, it's truly a big disappointment. https://www.bouvetdx.org/news-and-updates/

    Oh No, Not another "Bouvet Aborted" thread. OMG, this is as bad as the eclipse was.

    And like the eclipse, it's bringing out more characters than a full moon. ;)

    Guess it’s up to Z60A to make us happy. Two new ones in a week would have been too much good karma.
    Glad everyone is safe. DX isn’t easy.

    So much time and effort (not to mention ..money) to be lost. Kudos to the team for their efforts, though.

    History? Sorry for him too but I doubt school kids would be reciting that date as history.

    Must be frustating for them to stay several days in front of the island, can't land and now must go back.
    I cross my fingers they stay safe on the trip back.
