ated by "a group of very well known and experienced operators led
by Renner, PY7RP".

VP0SG: SOUTH GEORGIA 2027 ---> The VP0SG team places great emphasis on men-
torship and generational continuity in DX expeditions, in line with the val-
ues promoted by leading amateur radio community organizations. Amateur Radio
DXpeditions (ARD) is pleased to announce that Leon Hellmich, DL3ON, will be
joining the March 2027 DXpedition to South Georgia as their second young op-
erator, following the previous announcement of Violetta, KN2P. A third young
operator will be announced soon, continuing this effort to support and de-
velop future DX expeditions.
"On the regulatory front, we are pleased to report that our application to
The Government of South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands (GSGSSI) has
been received positively, and the project is expected to enter the formal
review phase in the coming weeks. Based on the constructive exchanges to
date, we remain confident in the process.
Logistically, the project continues to progress, and the first major mile-
stone related to our expedition vessel, the MV "Meredian", is fast approach-
ing. As a privately funded expedition, VP0SG relies on the support of the
amateur radio community. Therefore, we are actively seeking initial finan-
cial contributions from clubs, foundations, and individual donors to meet
future commitments and ensure the success of this exceptional activation".
See https://www.ardxpeditions.com/dxpeditions/vp0sg for more information
or to support the DXpedition.
