The Lazy Way, FT8. It struck me today while hunting XX9W and S21WD, DXing today is a ghost of what it used to be. Other than the recent 3Y0K Bouvet DX

3Y0K 10 Meters CW. Well that was a surprise! For the past week or so the CW & SSB 10 Meter openings to Bouvet Island were pretty weak starting around

3Y0K 80M CW. Boy oh boy oh boy. QRM can make you mad. Intentional or not. Just after 3Y0K's sunrise this evening, they came out of the mud on 80 CW nicely.

3Y0K 20M Longpath Signal. What a signal from 3Y0K on Bouvet via the Longpath this morning! After this SSB recording he only got stronger! N0UN working 3Y0K 20M SSB

I started another recording now 30 minutes after their sunrise (0540Z) and 3Y0K is much, MUCH stronger. IF I knew they would get this loud I would've waited to call.

I read news 3Y0K Bouvet may (or may not) be on the air so I figured what the heck, I'll point my antenna over Asia and call CQ DX. 9N1CA and XV9R called in!

KP5/NP3VI 20M SSB. And this is why I record most of my QSO's. So I can go back and make sure I got it right. In this case I did not. Clear as day you can hear

The Simplex Pileup KP5/NP3VI. THAT WAS A ROUGH CROWD! For around 15 minutes this evening the 40 Meter CW pileup for KP5/NP3VI

KP5/NP3VI Desecheo Confirmed. Well that was fast! I heard KP5/NP3VI on 15M CW this afternoon. I needed them for number 338 active entities worked in my quest

ZS8W Marion Island By YL2GM. Normally I'd be excited at the chance to work ZS8W but there's a couple items that have tempered my enthusiasm on this activation.
