    assuming LoTW is back up by then - otherwise they will be losing a lot of their income!

    If 3Y0L Organizers plan to take two helicopters to Peter I Island in order to "make this a safe and reliable operation as required
    by the Norwegian Polar Institute (NPI)"
    , then it begs the question: Why is 3Y0K only taking one helicopter to Bouvet?

    Does this mean NPI considers the proposed 3Y0K DXpedition to Bouvet Island to be unreliable and unsafe?

    My opinion is spending 1.6 million dollars to go "CQ CQ..." somewhere is just plain foolish. Forget the helicopters. Go maritime mobile and anchor off the island. Everyone stays on board and are safe.
    Do you think anyone would care if they are on the island or parked next to it? Can't launch helicopters due the typically bad weather in the area, now what? Well, you get the idea. The pileups will still be huge
    and they would probably make more contacts also.

    Safety is absolutely the first concern.

    With their now planned 20 operators team, they're going to need 2 million.
