3B8, MAURITIUS. Operators Olof/G0CKV, Kazu/JK3GAD, Denny/KX7M, Jamie/
M0SDV and Oliver/W6NV will be active as 3B8M from Roches Noires during

3D2/C, CONWAY REEF. The Rebel DX Group reported the following on their
FaceBook page (https://www.facebook.com/rebeldxgroup/), dated September
2nd [edited]: Good news -- Finally after months of negotiations we finally
received the Navy's permission to leave the main island of Viti Levu by
one of our yachts here during the covid restrictions. Situation in Fiji
is not easy, but we are going forward with the projects. During the next
2 weeks we will set sail to Conway Reef. 3D2CR license will be renewed.
This time will be one man expedition (ed. operator is most likely Dom,
3Z9DX), and a hard test before our plans for Bouvet 3Y0I in December 2021.
Just to remind you in 2019 our 2 man team did over 33,000+ QSOs in 8 days
and made new world best score QSO/Day/Operator.

3Y0J BOUVET ISLAND DXPEDITION NEWS. The following are press releases:
 * Press Release #5; dated August 30th, from the 3Y0J Team (3Y0J DX-
 pedition to Bouvet Island, November 2022?)[edited]. We are happy to
 announce that Northern California DX Foundation (NCDXF) has voted to
 grant 100,000 USDs to the upcoming 3Y0J DXpedition to Bouvet. This is
 an all-time high donation and matches the previous donation given to
 Bouvet projects. The 3Y0J team is very grateful and honored in the
 trust NCDXF has shown by supporting our project.
 The DXpedition will be carried out by "Amateur Radio DXpeditions",
 a Norwegian non-profit organization created for the purpose of con-
 ducting DXpeditions. With an overall budget of 650,000 USDs this will
 be the most expensive DXpedition ever. With the NCDXF donation we hope
 to succeed in the fund-raising as our first payment milestone for the
 vessel contract is approaching. By end October we will pay 30% of the
 vessel contract, and by that time we must have regained confidence that
 we can succeed financially. We critically need upfront donations to be
 able to make it. While we have a solid plan, a "young and strong team",
 a dedicated crew and vessel Marama - we need your upfront support to go
 there and make 120,000 QSOs from Cape Fie at Bouvet.
 Donations to the 3Y0J project can be done through PayPal on our
 website or by bank wire transfer.
 We wish to recognize and thank the Northern California DX Foun-
 dation as the Lead Sponsor for our 3Y0J DXpedition to Bouvet. Without
 the support of the NCDXF, operations to the world's rarest entities
 would be difficult.
 You can follow our plans from our website and the 3Y0J Facebook
 pages: http://www.3y0j.no
 https://www.facebook.com/groups/3093983840726129
 Thank you,

 Rune?Oye, ?LA7THA, Co-Leader?
 Erwann ?Merrien, ?LB1QI, Co-Leader?

 * ADDED NOTE FROM ERWANN, LB1QI (dated August 31st): For those who are
 current member of NCDXF (contribution within the last 12 months), your
 directed $250 or greater donation may be tax deductible (consult your
 tax accountant). Formally, NCDXF is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corpor-
 ation. Contributions from U.S. taxpayers may be tax advantaged.
 Simply contact (dongreenbaum at gmail.com) for details on how to
 submit your donation for 3Y0J.
 Let's make it together!

 * NCDXF PRESS RELEASE; date August 30th [edited]: The Northern California
 DX Foundation is pleased to announce it is granting 100,000 USDs to the
 3Y0J 2022 Bouvet Island DXpedition planned for November 2022. Bouvet
 Island is #2 on the ClubLog Most Wanted List world-wide.
 DXpeditions to rare entities like Bouvet Island that are so remote
 are becoming more expensive and more logistically challenging, a trend
 that we believe will continue. Hopefully this major DXpedition marks
 the return of DXpeditions to some of the entities at the top of the
 most needed DXCC list in this new solar cycle and in the post-pandemic
 world. (http://3y0j.no/) has the details of the 2022 Bouvet Island
 DXpedition.
 NCDXF's primary purpose is to help fund well-organized DXpeditions
 to desirable DXCC entities like Bouvet Island. During the last 49years,
 NCDXF has granted nearly 1.2 million USDs to hundreds of DXpeditions -
 helping to put an "all-time-new-one" (ATNO) in the log and make DX
 happen for thousands of DXers worldwide. The credit for these large
 grants goes to the NCDXF contributors, individuals and clubs who
 support the DX community. Without those contributions, DXpeditions
 to entities like Bouvet or other desirable locations would not be
 possible.
 If you agree with the importance of NCDXF's work, and if you are not
 a current contributor, we hope you will become one today by clicking
 here (http://www.ncdxf.org). Your contribution will continue to help
 make DX happen. You can also support future DXpeditions by including
 the NCDXF Cycle 25 Fund in your estate plan.
 We wish the 3Y0J Bouvet Island DXpedition team a safe and very
 successful trip to the Island next year.

cations were rejected because conservation objectives for this island
are very high and they considered our projects too risky." HMMMM!!, could
they be working on a DXpedition to Crozet Island (FT5/W).
