3Y0K Bouvet Island DXpedition planned for Feb. 2026 is ongoing. Great progress made by the team.
The Dateline DX Association is pleased to announce it has received permission from the USFWS for a DXpedition to Jarvis Island National Wildlife Reserve this August. Jarvis is ranked nr. 18 on Clublog’s global most wanted list. It is number 9 in Europe. Jarvis Island is 450 miles from Palmyra Atoll and 1500 miles from Hawaii. The DXpedition is planned for August 7-19 2024.
Jarvis was last on the air in 1990 and permission to visit has been difficult to obtain. We have worked very hard for the past few years on this permission and after demonstrating the success of the RIB concept with remote operators from various locations in 2023 we have received a permit that allows 4 operators on the boat to visit Jarvis with 6 stations on land.

2024 St Paul Island CY9C DXpedition coming up for August 26 – September 5 2024. A lot of members of this DXpedition were also part of the 2023 CY0S DXpedition to Sable Island, which was a hugely successful DXpedition. CY9C details here.
I can not wait to hunt down these guys on as many bands as possible.
The DXpedition to Glorioso Islands started a couple of days ago. Being the #7 most wanted DXCC entity, there is going to be some massive pile-ups, on SSB in particular. There will be no CW coming out of this dxpedition, probably because they do not have a team member that is CW proficient.
