ZS8T · Marion Island
Press Release #3
Posted: 21 Aug 2008 03:14 PM CDT
In April, Petrus ZS6GCM arrived on Marion Island to begin a year of work. Sometime in May he erected the SteppIR vertical he took along and ran into a few difficulties. He did make one contact during the month but efforts to resolve these difficulties were unsuccessful and Petrus’ work commitments impeded our efforts to communicate via other methods with Petrus.
It has been over two months since we have heard from Petrus and are as much in the dark as the DX Community as to his plans.
At this point we are at a loss why Petrus has not been able to find time to put ZS8T on the air, he certainly made the efforts to obtain permissions and training before leaving for the Island. We must assume his job as administrator to the scientific community was much more than he contemplated. Petrus is on Marion Island for 7 more months.
If and when Petrus surfaces we will inform the DX Community. We are as disappointed as you.
