VP8PJ 2020 DX-pedition to the South Orkney Islands
During February – March, 2020 a team of fourteen amateur radio operators from six countries set off on a journey that took them to Signy Island, located in the Southern Ocean at 60°43′S 45°36′W, part of the South Orkney Islands group, Antarctica. Departing from Punta Arenas, Chile, where they met the expedition vessel Braveheart, they traveled southeast through the Drake Passage for 6 days to reach the island. The team camped on the island for 14 days, operated radios 24 hours a day, and left the island as they found it, with no sign they were ever there.
