Updates from the Peter I DXpedition team!

14th February - 1930UTC

If you haven't yet seen today's video, we encourage you to take a look here.
The video says it better than mere words!

The snow is very fine and is making its way inside all the shelters. Sleeping bags are covered with a light dusting, etc. It's one thing to anticipate an Antarctic blizzard (and we did) but experiencing one is something else altogether.

We've heard about a rumour that we're ceasing operations on Feb 17th. Not only is that not true, we've not yet even discussed our exit strategy. The only places for 'good' 3YØX information is from our Pilots or this website. If you don't see it here, it isn't a fact.

We're glad we were able to get the logs uploaded correctly and caught up. There are 48K Qs in the log now and we are presently hunkered down indoors with little to do but make contacts!

73's to all from The Peter I team!

3Y0X Operating Frequencies

It should go without saying, but: We will always be transmitting on/near the indicated frequency below and listening up the band (spread to be announced by the operator). Please do NOT call on our transmitting frequency!

Note: These frequencies have been selected to allow the Peter I Team to, on occasion, have three signals on a band at one time. We have taken steps to minimize inter-station interference by separation of operating sites and different antenna polarizations. Although these frequencies may vary some and may even be changed all together depending upon what we encounter on the island and on the air, they are a good place to start looking for us

* Please note that we will be offering digital QSOs on several bands but have selected 30m and 20m as "primary" digital bands. This is where you should look for us first
