3Y0J – Bouvet Island Cancelled

Σύμφωνα με ανακοίνωση που εκδόθηκε από τους Paul Ewing, N6PSE και Kenneth Opskar LA7GIA, η αποστολή του 3Y0J στο Bouvet Island ΑΚΥΡΩΝΕΤΑΙ.

Ο λόγος της ακύρωσης της αποστολή είναι η πώληση του πλοίου RV Braveheart που μέχρι πρότινος εξυπηρετούσε τις DXpeditions με αποτέλεσμα την ακύρωση του συμβολαίου μεταφοράς της ομάδας του 3Y0J στο Bouvet.

Η ανακοίνωση

To the global DX community.

We regret to inform you of the following news.

The global pandemic has impacted the expedition charter vessel business very hard; this includes the venerable RV Braveheart which has provided outstanding safety and service to many DXpeditions. As you know, we had signed a contract with Braveheart for 3Y0J.

Today, we were informed that Braveheart will be sold. As a result, Nigel Jolly will no longer be associated with the ship, our contract with the ship has been cancelled and our deposit will be refunded. This is a very disappointing development to all involved.

At this time, we are cancelling the 3Y0J Dxpedition. We have ceased accepting donations and we will begin refunding 100% of the donations using the same method they were received, i.e., PayPal, cash or check. This process will take several weeks to sort out, so please be patient.

We wish to thank our team for putting their trust in us. We wish to thank all of the donors and sponsors that gave generously to this project. We will continue to research other ships and possibly find another suitable vessel for a future project.

73,
Paul Ewing, N6PSE
