Thursday at 9 pm Eastern (0200Z) on Ham Talk Live!, we get an update from
some of the 3Y0Z - Bouvet Island DXpedition 2018 team about how the trip is
going and when you will have a chance to work them! We will have the lead
pilot, Valerie Hotzfeld, NV9L and the youth pilot, Bryant Rascoll, KG5HVO
on the show. And if possible, we will go LIVE for a part of the show with
the team. They may still be on the boat, or getting ready to move to the
island, or with any luck they will be on the island...

I got a Skype call a few weeks ago from Eric, 4Z1UG--the creator and host
of the QSO Today Podcast--during which he asked me about how and why I got
into amateur radio. Heres the result.

An Update from Hamvention Leadership



Despite all of the best efforts and intentions by Greene County, the
Greene County Agricultural Society and Hamvention, we have learned the
anticipated new building will not be constructed in time for Hamvention
2018. The prefab sections bid on and architecturally required are currently
backlogged. We expect construction to be delayed until after our show and
the Greene County Fair. We expect completion of construction yet this year
and ready...
