For those of you who are hoping to work the Bouvet DXpedition, here are some rules that they have just issued.
3Y0J Bouvet Island 2023 Update:
RADIO OPERATIONS BAND PLAN
3Y0J will always listen up (using split) so it will be useless to call us on our transmission frequency. Please be sure to double check your settings to make sure you are not calling us simplex.
Always give your full callsign. Listening is the key, so be sure we call you before replying.
CW MAX 15 kHz split
(operators choose QRG within a certain bandwidth)
SSB MAX 30 kHz split
(operators choose QRG within a certain bandwidth)
Lowest 10 kHz spectrum on regular bands
NO TX to allow regular DX traffic
Lowest 5 kHz on WARC band
NO TX to allow regular DX traffic
We are aware of US band plans for E/A/G/N/T
FT8 40-10m, with focus on 20-10m yagis.
FT8 ALWAYS F/H
We will transmit: 100W on FT8

Please Follow The DX Code of Conduct
