GOOD TO KNOW

3Y0Z: BOUVET 2018 ● "In consultation with our new transportation partner Aerovias DAP", the 3Y0Z team reported on 27 June, "we continue to refine our plans for our Bouvet DXpedition". They expect to depart from King George Island (South Shetlands) on 13 January 2018, and to reach Bouvet after 9-11 days, depending on weather and sea conditions. Plans are to be at Bouvet for 21 days, and to be QRV for 14-16 days. Then they will return to either King George Island or Punta Arenas (Chile). Fund-

raising continues. "We are pleased with our progress toward our goal of 740,500 USD. The team has committed 400,000 USD cash as well as paying for their own transportation, food and hotel

expenses. DX Clubs have stepped up and some have added additional contributions as have many individual DXers. However, we are still about 200,000 USD short. Please help if you can. We have a large payment due for the vessel and helicopters in several months".

"If you follow the Intrepid-DX Group", Paul Ewing (N6PSE) posted to his blog (https://n6pse.wordpress.com/) on 9 June, "you know that we visited Erbil, the capital of Iraqi Kurdistan in April 2010 and conducted the YI9PSE DXpedition. Since that time, we have maintained our relationship with the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and have followed their plans for independence. The KRG has welcomed us to return for additional amateur radio activities. On June 7, 2017, KRG President Massoud Barzani announced following a meeting of the Kurdish political parties that the Iraqi Kurdish region will hold an independence referendum on September 25th, 2017 as the first major step towards independence. The Intrepid-DX Group will continue to follow developments from the KRG as they move towards independence. If they declare independence and all conditions are in place for UN

acceptance, we will again hope to join forces with our friends the Tifariti Gang (www.dxfriends.com) and activate Kurdistan together just as we joined teams to activate the new Republic of South Sudan in 2011.
