Bouvet would be a great candidate for AA7JV's Radio In A Box. And as 
remote as they are, and as lightweight as they are (100W, very limited 
antenna), they ought to be doing only CW and FT8. Thiery did a great job 
lighting up Crozet with similar limitations with FT8 -- in addition to 
its signal-to-noise advantages, there were no cops!
