  1. Interesting podcast about the Bouvet Island expedition #3Y0J overcast.fm/+-Hyad1gHU

  2. I am not an active ham (KB0ZMS), but I am frustrated by the DQRM directed at the Bouvet Island DXpedition (3Y0J). I just cannot wrap my head around what anyone gains from blocking others from gaining a rare one, plus all the mean-spirited griping and general nastiness. People can be so disappointing.

    The Radio Amateur's Code starts with “never knowingly operates in such a way as to lessen the pleasure of others.”

  3. Posted a comment on a video about #3Y0J - immediately deleted it so I don't cop any fallout. Thou shalt not have criticism or concerns about how the trip was done and they're all superheroes apparently.

  4. Trying to listen for #3Y0J on their FT8 frequencies right now... 😒​

  5. In between posting some rude comments on the DX Cluster (while it's still anonymous) and writing trash items about #3Y0J on the WWW,
    I copied today's #Morsle at 40 WPM! morsle.fun

    Now off to warm the amp for some potent carriers on the DX QRG. Split? What split?
    For those about to jam, we salute you!

  6. About all the DXcluster mess with #FT8WW and #3Y0J: they are not new. These Cluster Crabs have been alive for many years. While the original article domain was taken over, the archive remains in the Internet Archive.

  7. So I could decode the #FT8 signals of #FT8WW and #3Y0J on the #30m band at home with the signal strength of being able to make contacts. I might be able to make a contact IF WITHOUT PILEUPS, and if without all these jamming stations causing annoying interferences. 🤷‍♂️

  8. I have finally successfully decoded #3Y0J with a 1m-length whip antenna with counterpoise wires + Airspy HF+ Discovery + gqrx + WSJT-X 2.6.1 on Ubuntu x86_64 22.04.1, on 10.144MHz FT8, today (20230210), in Tokyo Japan, at PM95tp.

    063945 -17 0.5 295 ~ N6PSE RR73; WX4G <3Y0J> -10
    064445 -16 0.5 296 ~ JF7NNI RR73; JH0AHI <3Y0J> -06

    I'm overwhelmed by the signal strength of the callers BTW *shrug*.

  9. Damn I sure hope this is the real deal and not a pirate!
    Hex heading, frequency and propagation all match.
    15m was a gong show complete with self-appointed FT8 cops & I couldn't hear 3Y0J at all.
    Slid over to 10m and got them right away... if it was actually them. Will see. Fingers crossed. Will try for other modes/bands later on when things calm down. #HamRadio #Digital #DXpedition #3Y0J #BouvetIsland

  10. For those following along, bullshit #3Y0J spots started, at least, 24 hours BEFORE they even reported they had antennas up.

  11. I can't tell if there really are #3Y0J imposters being spotted or there are shitty #DX cluster trolls putting out fake information.

    Also, who the hell thinks commenting on a DX cluster somehow influences them?

  12. @on5zo Dit weekend op de uitkijk voor Bouvet Island -#3Y0J

  13. Nice to see that #3Y0J got off a couple of Garmin locator pings around 12:40PM PT today showing them at 82ft above sea level.

  14. I wish there were more #3Y0J coverage here on Mastodon - I don't want to return to the dark side to get updates! #amateurradio

  15. Excellent video presentation and Q&A about the upcoming 3Y0J Bouvet DXpedition, by team member Adrian, KO8SCA.

  16. Is anyone doing anything special to prepare for #3Y0J / #Bouvet Island dxpedition? It's pretty much just ocean between my QTH and there, so I don't know if they are in a null on my Windom. I'm not opposed to throwing together some monoband beam (if I have enough free time), but if I can't hit them, my backup plan is to operate from my Elmer's shack using the hexbeam on his tower. 😜

    I will be going through the WSJX dxpedition mode instructions before then.
