An Open Letter to the DX Communityfrom Krassy Petkov, K1LZ21 October 2025As many of you know, it was both my dream and my honor to join the team planning to activate 3Y0K Bouvet Island in February 2026. At other times, he also asked for extra contributions of $7,000 per operator from K1LZ, LU9ESD, K3JO, and RN5M. I agreed to this second request because he said that all team members would be asked to do the same. Without that story, it is doubtful anyone would have trusted the same leadership team that had already failed once before in their previous Bouvet attempt. K3JO, LU9ESD, RN5M, and JT1CO have been told they may still participate if they wish, and I will fully respect whatever decision they make.
