minimises its environmental footprint while still allowing meaningful
amateur radio activity.

mizing the number of unique contacts, providing strong CW, SSB and FT8 cov-
erage, giving small and modest stations a genuine opportunity to work South
Georgia. Following the securement of the expediton vessel MV 'Meredian',
organizers are calling on the global DX community to support substantial
upfront logistical and equipment costs to make the activation a reality. See
