INFO - 3Y0J

4 days of food left. Not looking good for most people to get that ATNO.

 

That is four days of food before needing supplies from the boat. Their boat moved further offshore due to todays storm. I doubt they will be measuring each other up for the size of their bones….not yet anyway!

 

I have heard them on 30 meters, but to my surprise I needed to use the K9AY loops which gave a major noise advantage over my high dipole! A few locals did snag them. Could not hear them the dipole! K9AY LOOP SHUD NOT BE WORKING HIGH!

 

I heard them clearly on 30 meters CW last night, but that is with a 10-element LPDA at 73 feet. I just waited for a pause in the QRM so I could hear them and their response, and got them.

 

Imagine a DXpedition not using 20M.

Team still QRV.

 

Does this mean the end of their activity?

 

That can be the obvious, my bet is that the very next

• lower winds,
  
• navigable sea,
  
• good visibility

might exist other conditions, are the last chance to

• get men back to S/Y with all stuff,
• leave Bouvet,
• sail safely to S-Afrika

or will they await for REALLY stormy wx 7/7?
and that's it

Team aiming to come off island at 10am (local time) today and then to try resupply the camp with more essential items such as food, fuel, generator and antennas.

Switch operators?

Team on board must be mad (I would, re-checking plans? what else can they do)
