ZS8T ---> This is the latest press release posted by Rhynhardt Louw
(ZS6DXB) on http://zs8t.net/ (21 August):
"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".
+ SILENT KEYS + Famous Belgian sailor Willy de Roos (ON8RP and VK9XR/mm)
passed away on 4 August at 85 years of age. In 1977-78, aboard his ketch
"Williwaw", he sailed through the Northwest Passage, from Greenland to the
Bering Straight, and then went on to round Cape Horn and sail back to
Begium, thus becoming the first one to circumnavigate the Americas counter
clockwise.
Other recently reported Silent Keys include Doug M. Hill (G3ZWH), Pete
Weymouth (M1SOM), Vic Dubois (N4TO), Alan P. Burgstahler (N7BF) and Valery
F. Shishlov (RA1PAW).
