A DXPedition Before a DXPedition

Two DXpeditions to coveted DX islands are going to be sharing team members - and equipment - just a year apart!

The coming year, 2024 is a big year of planning for the 2026 DXpedition to Peter 1 Island (pron: Peter One Island), which ranks eighth in ClubLog's most-wanted DXCC list. Like Bouvet Island, this remote volcanic island is one of three Norwegian territories in the sub-Antarctic and Antarctic Regions. The DXpedition of 19 operators is being led by Ken LA7GIA, Cezar VE3LYC, Dave WD5COV and Adrian KO8SCA and is planned for 14 days in February of 2026.

Dave and Ken are also part of another high-profile DXpedition taking place a year before Peter 1 Island: that is the 3YØK DXpedition in January 2025 to Bouvet Island, now the 11th most wanted on the ClubLog DXCC list. For an EU angle on the Bouvet trip, Emil DL8JJ, a friend of ICQ Podcast and recent activator of Rockall Island will be one of the three on-island 3Y0K operators (there will also be other operators controlling 4 remote stations on Bouvet from the warmth of their home shacks).

/

A pandemic-delayed trip by a team of DXpeditioners -- all in their 20s -- is finally going forward to Guyana. Four friends, Jamie MØSDV, Philipp, DK6SP, Tomi, HA8RT, and Sven DJ4MX, are young: Sven is 21, team co-leader Jamie is 22; Tomi is 24 and co-leader Philipp is 25.

“We have been fortunate enough to visit some amazing locations worldwide.”
— Jamie MØSDV

Their youth hasn't stopped them from becoming veteran DXpeditioner - They putting together their plan to operate in Guyana between the 14-24th of next February, operating CW, SSB, FT8 and RTTY on the HF bands.

They have not yet been assigned a callsign.

The Northern California DX Foundation said it has given the team a $5,000 grant as a way of encouraging the next generation of adventuring amateurs.

Jamie said that the group's website will be updated regularly to keep DX hunters apprised and, of course, to encourage others to support the activation.
