Our proposed site is at 54<sup>0 <\/sup>24\u2019 23\u201d South and 3<sup>0  <\/sup>24\u2019 39\u201d East at approximately 600 ft. ASL.  This is on the Slakhallet Glacier on the northeast quadrant of Bouvet.   It is relatively flat with areas of maximum slope not exceeding 8 degrees.  This is well below slope levels that are prone to avalanches.  We have less information on the presence of crevasses, but do not detect any on the highest resolution images that we have.  Of course, an on-site inspection upon our initial helicopter landing will determine our actual operating location.<\/p>\n<p>We have researched and selected our Antarctic shelters. These four shelters will house our stations, our sleeping quarters, and our eating and meeting facility (the MEG tent).  These were selected to survive the high winds, precipitation, and temperatures expected on Bouvet.  We will heat our operating shelter and the MEG tent.  Our sleeping shelters will not be heated for safety reasons.<\/p>\n<p>The ten HF beams that served us so well on Amsterdam Island (FT5ZM) will accompany us to Bouvet.  We intend to deploy them on a line along 240<sup>0<\/sup> to 60<sup>0<\/sup>.  This will keep the antennas from beaming into each other when aimed at Europe, Japan, and North America.  Our verticals for 160, 80, 60, 40, and 30 meters will be placed to minimize interaction.  Images of our antenna plans, shelter layouts, and shelter interiors are on our website.<\/p>\n<p>The Japanese support team has reorganized and will be led by Hiro, JA4DND.  Joe, JJ3PRT, will be our new pilot for Japan.  JA4BUA, Kuwa, will be in charge of web and IT duties, and JK1KSB, Oku, will do our public relations.  In addition, we\u2019ve added a VK-ZL-Oceania pilot, VK6VZ.<\/p>\n<p>Our on-line store has opened!

Notre site est propos\u00e9 \u00e0 54 0 24 &rsquo;23 \u00ab\u00a0sud et 3 0 24&prime; 39\u00a0\u00bb Est \u00e0 environ 600 ft. ASL. C&rsquo;est sur le glacier Slakhallet sur le quadrant nord-est de Bouvet. Il est relativement plat avec des zones de pente maximale ne d\u00e9passant pas 8 degr\u00e9s. C&rsquo;est bien en de\u00e7\u00e0 des niveaux de pente qui sont sujets aux avalanches. Nous avons moins d&rsquo;informations sur la pr\u00e9sence de crevasses, mais ne d\u00e9tectons aucune sur les images de r\u00e9solution la plus \u00e9lev\u00e9e que nous ayons. Bien s\u00fbr, une inspection sur place lors de notre premier atterrissage en h\u00e9licopt\u00e8re d\u00e9terminera notre emplacement r\u00e9el d&rsquo;exploitation<\/p>\n<p>Nous avons recherch\u00e9 et choisi nos refuges antarctiques. Ces quatre abris abriteront nos gares, nos chambres \u00e0 coucher et notre aire de restauration (la tente MEG). Ils ont \u00e9t\u00e9 choisis pour survivre aux vents forts, aux pr\u00e9cipitations et aux temp\u00e9ratures attendues sur Bouvet. Nous allons chauffer notre abri d&rsquo;exploitation et la tente MEG. Nos refuges ne seront pas chauff\u00e9s pour des raisons de s\u00e9curit\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p>Les dix faisceaux HF qui nous ont si bien servi sur l&rsquo;\u00eele d&rsquo;Amsterdam (FT5ZM) nous accompagneront \u00e0 Bouvet. Nous avons l&rsquo; intention de les d\u00e9ployer sur une ligne le long de 240 0 \u00e0 60 0. Cela emp\u00eachera les antennes de se projeter l&rsquo;une vers l&rsquo;autre lorsqu&rsquo;elles viseront l&rsquo;Europe, le Japon et l&rsquo;Am\u00e9rique du Nord. Nos secteurs verticaux pour 160, 80, 60, 40 et 30 m\u00e8tres seront plac\u00e9s pour minimiser l&rsquo;interaction. Des images de nos plans d&rsquo;antenne, des plans d&rsquo;abri et des int\u00e9rieurs d&rsquo;abris sont disponibles sur notre site Web.<\/p>\n<p>L&rsquo;\u00e9quipe de soutien japonaise s&rsquo;est r\u00e9organis\u00e9e et sera dirig\u00e9e par Hiro, JA4DND. Joe, JJ3PRT, sera notre nouveau pilote pour le Japon. JA4BUA, Kuwa, sera responsable des fonctions Web et IT, et JK1KSB, Oku, fera nos relations publiques.
