9G DXPEDITION CANCELLED ---> The Italian DXpedition Team's activity from
Ghana (9G5RR and 9G5CC) and Abokwa Island (9G5ZP), originally scheduled for
early April [425DXN 1816], has been cancelled. Donations will be refunded to

BOUVET ISLAND 2026 ---> 3Y0K went QRT on 14 March at 11:16 UTC. According to
the latest update on the QSL manager's OQRS, the team made 102,263 QSOs
(Digital 63503, CW 22432, SSB 16328) with 36,470 unique stations in 13 days.
The OQRS is open: https://www.m0oxo.com/oqrs/logsearch.php.
"We made more than 100,000 contacts and achieved our goals", the team posted
to Facebook on 16 March while leaving the island. "It was an extraordinary
undertaking, involving years of planning, complex logistics and determina-
tion needed to succeed. The team worked well together under harsh condi-
tions, cold, snow and windy. Bouvetoya is known for its remoteness and un-
predictable weather, and while it is a beautiful island, any attempt going
onshore involves a risk. Despite all the challenges we encountered the team
has stayed focused on our goals, determined, and the result is due to real
team work!
We have been working with professional expedition guides, pilots, crew and
vessel who all contributed to the success.
We wish to thank everyone who believed in us, supported us and made this a
great expedition. Thanks to all our individual sponsors, clubs, organiza-
tions and corporate sponsors for their contribution!"
The vessel is en route to the port of Cape Town, South Africa, and expected
to arrive there on 21 March at around 5 UTC.
J51A: THE RECORD BREAKER ---> The J51A team has broken the DXpedition
records set in 2011 by T32C for both the highest number of QSOs and the most
unique callsigns worked. While T32C fielded about forty operators rotating
over a month-long period, the five-man German team at J51A was QRV for 20
days.
