For our multinational DX Radio team, the start seemed much longer. During the last days in January 2006, and after three years of preparations and delays, the Peter I Island DX Radio expedition was finally on its way. The 22 team members from the Americas and Europe gathered in Punta Arenas, Chile at the Straits of Magellan, and on 1 February boarded a Dash 7 turboprop for the three-and-a-half hour flight to the Chilean Frei Base on King George Island in the South Shetlands where we boarded the MV DAP Mares, our 1600-ton Antarctic expedition support vessel.
