3Y0K Bouvet 2026

The 3Y0K Bouvet 2026 team are still working on the vessel and helicopter contracts and we are in the final stage before signing the contracts. We are sorting out the last minute deals and are still looking for some more operators for Bouvet and Peter I team. Funding of these two DX-peditions also heavily depend on us getting a full team of operators onboard that contribute with their participation fee. Should you wish to join our team please contact admin@3y0.no or Cezar VE3LYC directly.
 
We estimate to stay around the island for three weeks and the total duration should be around 38 days to Bouvet and a little bit less to Peter I. We do have all the helicopter and landing permits issued by NPI to go to onshore Bouvet and Peter I with a full scale operation. Planning these two DX-peditions is very time consuming where the logistics has to be coordinated with other expeditions and that is why it takes time to sign contracts. Our plans are to use the same vessel for both DX-peditions. First the vessel and crew will take us to Bouvet where we will do landing with a helicopter, then our equipment will later be shipped to South America and stored there before we return 1 year later to go to Peter I Island scheduled for departure late January 2027. Our plans are to go onshore Peter I with two helicopters first week of February 2027. This way of running the DX-peditions is a huge advantage for the #7 most wanted DX-pedition to Peter I. Island.
 
Thank you,
73, team Bouvet and Peter I

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.
