    Hi Petrus,
    the 3Y0/b is new one for my IOTA/DXCC, so I’m hunting for a QSO since your QRV been started. I tried almost all evenings just 3Y0E been spoted into DXcluster , but no luck. It’s too late for us and band is fully closed.
    The best time for us ( means eastern EU) is between 08-09z and 13z-14z. Hope one day you will be able to QRV shortly at those hours to give us a chance.
    Best wishes,

    Petrus,

    I hope you had fun with the operation and will do it again on your next island visit. We all need as much activity from rare DX locations as possible. All the stations you worked are certainly happy campers.

    Sad for me, I never had any luck trying to hear 3Y0E. I listened every day possible and never heard a whisper the entire time of QRV. (using 4L mono at 120′ ;) North Texas must have been in a “black hole” for propagation along with many other areas also.

    Thanks for putting Bouvet on the air and hope to catch you from your next QTH. Have a safe trip back to ZS.

    I made you with 100w on 2 elements quad and your ears was really open because it wasn’t easy…
    Just after our contact i made a big “yaaaouuuuuu “on the silent of the night… my wife understood that i made you !! hi !!
    Many thanks for activity, many thanks also for the wonderful site that allow us many interactivity, reading news etc…
