3Y0Z: BOUVET 2018 --- > "Our fund-raising began about this time last year,
so we have been at it for 12 months", the 3Y0Z team wrote on 22 August in
their Press Release #7. "We are extremely grateful for the excitement,
encouragement and actual contributions that have come our way. It has truly
been amazing to see how the DX community has stepped up to help 'make this
happen'.
We believe that we have negotiated a contract with our transportation
partners that gives us a good idea of what our costs will ultimately be.
This expense represents most of our overall costs. Regarding the remainder
of our budget, cost control is a daily challenge and a priority for
leadership and the team. We take it very seriously.
However, recently we made a couple of changes affecting the expense side of
our equation. This accounts for a small 3% increase in our overall costs,
but will make life on Bouvet safer and more comfortable. We have decided to
add a second operating shelter and a third leeping shelter. This will allow
us to have more room to place our 14 one-KW stations (12 HF and 2 EME) and
to separate the operating modes. This will make our 14-16 estimated days of
24/7 operating more comfortable and less challenging. The bottom line is we
have a small percentage increase in costs, but the on-island benefits are
well worth the extra expense.
In summary, looking at our income from the Operating Team itself, the DX
Foundations, DX Clubs and individual DXers worldwide and our estimates of
what our costs will turn out to be, we feel we are in a good and enviable
position... but we are still short over $100,000.
With this in mind, we are continuing to ask for your financial support. You
may visit our DXpedition website (http://www.bouvetdx.org) and click on a
'donate' button".
