3Y0Z: BOUVET 2018 ---> "After weeks of  inventorying, packing, padding,  and

weighing supplies and equipment", the 3Y0Z team reported on  10 October (see

http://www.bouvetdx.org/),  "we  have  sealed our container  and  loaded  it

aboard a truck bound for the port of Savannah.  The container will go by sea

to  Manzanillo (Mexico); by  rail  to  Balboa (Panama); then by sea  to  San

Antonio (Chile),  Copihue  (Chile)  and  finally  Punta Arenas (Chile).  The

contents will be taken aboard our ship in Punta Arenas and meet our team  at

King George Island in the South Shetlands on 13 January 2018".

FT5XT ---> Gildas, F4HQZ (ex TU5KG) usually operates /mm when in  the Crozet

(FT5WQ) and  Kerguelen (FT5XT) waters  during  his fishing campaigns in  the

Southern Indian Ocean.  On 11 October, however, he was able  to land and  be

QRV from the Kerguelen Islands (AF-084) for a couple of hours on  20 and  15

metres SSB. QSL direct to F4DXW; logsearch will be available on Club Log.

RI1F ---  The DXpedition to Viktoriya Island (EU-190), Franz Jozef Land went

QRT  earlier  than  expected, around  12 UTC on  8 October, as  polar  bears

roaming around the  camp  and  even peeping into  the tents were  becoming a

major problem.  Reportedly the  RI1F team  made  some 12,000 QSOs, and  will

upload the logs to Club Log when they are back on the mainland.
