NCDXF Grant to 3Y0J DXpedition

The Northern California DX Foundation is pleased to announce it is granting $100,000 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 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. 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.

Charles M0OXO

I was born in the 1960’s and have lived all my life in the Coal Mining Town of Barnsley in South Yorkshire, Northern England. My parents were all from this area of Yorkshire and my father worked in the main Industry of the local Collieries as a face worker. I have been married to my wife Debbie for 35+ years and we have two children and two grandchildren.

I have been licensed for around 20 years after my interest was re-kindled when I retired from my role as a Police Officer within South Yorkshire Police Force. The latter few years were spent as Radio Operator in the Force Operations Control Room at Sheffield, before my career ended.

IOTA chasing is (and always has been) my real passion, as climbing the ladder to reach Honour Roll status was always my main aim. The 1000 Islands Trophy is still out of reach but I am heading in the right direction. I am currently a Board Member of IOTA Ltd and IREF.

In my free time I am a keen Photographer of Wildlife, Aviation, (anything really) but the QSL Manager role is my main passion within Ham Radio.
