About Peter 1 Island
Peter 1 Island is DXCC entity 199, in South America, CQ zone 12 and ITU zone 72.
Standard time there is UTC-4. The entity has no prefix of its own: every operation is licensed one at a time.
Also in CQ zone 12, and often workable on the same openings: Antarctica, Chile, Easter Island, Juan Fernandez Islands, and San Felix & San Ambrosio.
Peter I Island (3Y/P) is a Norwegian-claimed volcanic island in the Bellingshausen Sea, off Antarctica, surrounded by pack ice for much of the year. Access requires a ship, usually helicopters, and a landing permit from the Norwegian Polar Institute. In Club Log's global Most Wanted list it was number 9 in December 2025 and number 7 in October 2026.

Working a DXpedition
Listen before you call: most DXpeditions work split, transmitting on one frequency and listening a few kilohertz up, and the operator says where. Call with your full callsign once, then listen again.
On FT8, teams using Fox/Hound sit on their own frequencies, away from the normal FT8 dial. Check the official website for the frequencies, the log search and the QSL route, and do not work the same band and mode twice.
