| February | AU2V: Sacrifice Rock (AS-161) VU - Team AU2V (namely (VU2RS, VU2TT, VU3DXA, VU3GDS, VU3TPW and VU3WEW)
is planning a DXpedition to Sacrifice Rock (AS-161). This challeng-
ing island and highly sought-after IOTA group was activated only
once, back in January 2002.
The team has received informal approval from local authorities and
is awaiting formal confirmation to proceed, with the activation
tentatively planned for the second week of February. 'We have two
CW operators and four SSB/digital operators', Sarath, VU2RS says,
'ensuring that we can run three stations simultaneously, if permit-
ted, or two stations round the clock. We'll be using a range of an-
tennas, including a 40-6m beam, 6 and 10m beam, and verticals, to
ensure maximum coverage and efficiency'. Donations to help offset
the significant costs can be sent via PayPal to sarath[@]lven.in. A
website is apparently under construction at https://au2v.vu2rs.com.

stone' with the signing of a contract with the company that will take them
to Bouvet Island in February 2026. They have also secured a contract with a
company that will provide a helicopter, two pilots, and a mechanic for this
project.
'We will depart from Cape Town February 1st 2026', the team says, 'and the
DXpedition is scheduled for 36 days. We intend to stay around the island
for more than 21 days, which will provide us with enough time to wait for
good conditions to land the team and all the equipment'.
The total budget of $1,675,000 includes a $450,000 deposit due on 20 Janu-
ary, with funding assistance from private contributions and grants from the
Northern California DX Foundation. 'NCDXF has discussed the planning with
their leadership team and believes that this plan will be successful. There
is risk associated with this DXpedition as we all know because of weather
and local conditions. The leadership has experienced these challenges and
has thoughtfully addressed them as best as they know'. There will be two
grants from NCDXF, 'totally up to $200,000. The first will be a down payment
of $100,000. The second will be a dollar for dollar match up to $100,000.
The match will be a challenge to the clubs and hams that donate prior to the
DXpedition'. To help meet this target, please consider making a donation:
