Argus, the icebreaker, is named after the giant in Greek mythology. The ship is maneuverable and a robust and reliable icebreaker.
I/B Argus is on his way back from Bouvet after the great 3YØK expedition where the Team of 15, was active from Cape Fie (WAP NOR-14).
“There were rumors (WAP has been received queries about that info) of possible two Camps on the island but, it has been made clear that there was only one Camp and it was at Cape Fie in the South Eastern side of Bouvet Island.”
Well now the Team is onboard of the Polar Vessel heading South Africa (ETA 21 Febr.) .
Several members of the 3Y0K expedition are QRV aboard signing their own call signs. Yesterday Febr. 17, attentive DX hunters have got a chance to log several of them working CW on 10 mts. with good signals: N4ML/MM, LA7GIA/MM, LB5SH/MM and HAØNAR/MM are in the log.
On Febr. 16, OY1R/MM was also reported active on SSB! There are few days left before they reach their final destination, so don’t miss the opportunity to work a “New Polar Ship” for your WAP score and some others operators /MM!
ARGUS, 68 mts long, 9 mts wide (IMO:7104752, MMSI:219226000, Call sign: OVZW2) built in 1971, is sailing under the flag of Denmark.
