Ken LA7GIA (3Y0K Team lead):

We just finished a very successful expedition to Bouvetøya in the South Atlantic Ocean. What an incredible trip! Depsite all the challenges, the team overcome each of them. We made contact with 102.000 persons during our 15 day stay. We encountered harsh conditions, snow, and wind sometimes was so strong we could barely walk outdoor. Bouvetøya is a beautiful island, but is known for its remoteness and unpredictable weather. The team worked well together and we're proud of having made 100k contacts under these conditions. Today everyone is safely back on the vessel and we're bound for Cape Town this weekend. Thanks to everyon who supported us and who was in the pileup!

@DTelegrafo @DAILYDX @EA1CS DX world has been removed as corporate 3YØK sponsor for providing a plattform for the haters to post shit, not only abt this but other expeditions. We need to speak up as he threathens the DXpeditioners to put his logo on the web, or he will hurt the funding

@DTelegrafo @DAILYDX @EA1CS DX World has been removed as corporate sponsor for publishing false, unverified information with the intent to damage the expedition. If you earn money on publishing DX news you should follow certain ethical standards and not publish gossip

[Ken - LA7GIA @LA7GIA]

@DTelegrafo He is dividing the ham radio community, he post fake news and has no ethical standard. We will let a Norwegian court order speak for itself.

@HK3W @DAILYDX @DX_World @EA1CS It is not allowed boss

[Ken - LA7GIA @LA7GIA]

@satofishi Still waiting for it to reach the bottom :)
