3Y0K, Bouvet 2026

I prefer to hear a voice and make a ssb qso instead of watching on a screen and seeing my computer make a qso with 3y0k or a pirate.

There will be a humongous pileup and they will not be on their normal frequency a little bit down the band.
And normally the pileup would die down a little when the dx is transmitting. That can't happen in DQRM mode.

 

The reasonably-expected outcome?
Those with totally random timing, absolutely no listening skills, most money & highest power, and no DXing proficiency will be rewarded at
an equal or higher rate than disciplined, courteous, and experienced operators.

Keep hitting that "F3" macro with the sledge-hammer, Boys. You're now a DXer, and a CW Man, to-boot.

It's their operation--They call the shots. None of my business.

I have a 3Y0 card
I'm out.

That is in fact the truth, the SSB pile-ups are already a jungle even with good operators at the helm. If nobody is there to listen to, it will be exacly what you describe.

 

I wish there was some way other than Facebook to get the latest info about their active frequency and mode.

 

Glad I have Bouvet confirmed on multiple bands and both CW and SSB. I won't be inviting a raise in blood pressure by trying to work this DXpedition

 

Just like a contest. Put your call out there. CQ3Y w7uuu …

 

RBN should pick them up regardless the frequency being used.

 

Now listening on 21.05 mHz at the absurd pileup. All the crappy DQRMers, those having no clue about split, and the frequency police. As always, a disgrace.

No idea why the DXpedition spends all that money and risks life and limb to put up with these mental midget losers.

 

Agreed. Even on Facebook there are multiple sources of (mis)information - which one should I follow? What 's the source of "real" news?

Clublog Livestream for the win.

 

I wish every DXpedition used ClubLog Livestream. The benefits are many. It won't solve "mental issues" cases but help the "sane".

Update II

El campamento de NA se encuentra a 50 metros de la ubicación prevista en la montaña, con señales muy fuertes que llegaron anoche, en FT8 y CW.
El equipo está construyendo antenas de 20, 30, 40 y 160 metros durante las 4 horas restantes de luz diurna.
Mañana se instalarán más antenas Yagi y se utilizarán los amplificadores de KW.
Recuerden que las condiciones logísticas aquí cambian rápidamente y el equipo está haciendo todo lo posible para impulsar la comunidad DX. Los comentarios desagradables no cambiarán nada.
El QRV se publicará cuando estén listos.

Indeed, if only we could put more effort into helping the sane instead of all the effort to engineer new and novel ways to punish the "wicked"... at the expense of the sane.
