3Y0K ---> The following was posted on 25 January to the DXpedition's Face-
book page (https://www.facebook.com/groups/1787070508410564/):
"Due to unforeseen circumstances, the 3Y0K DXpedition to Bouvet Island
will be delayed by approximately two weeks. Our vessel requires additional
maintenance to ensure it is fully prepared for the demanding voyage to one
of the most remote and challenging locations on Earth.
While this delay is disappointing, the safety of our team remains our
highest priority. The adjustment does not change the overall strategy of the
DXpedition, which has been carefully planned over the past three years.
We will continue to keep you informed as our schedule is updated".
The team was originally scheduled to depart from Cape Town on 1 February.
EUDX CONTEST ---> The sixth edition of the European DX Contest will be held
on 7-8 February (from 12 UTC to 12 UTC). Complete information can be found

world to contact as many other amateurs in as many European Union regions
and countries on 160, 80, 40, 20, 15 and 10 metres CW and SSB.
