ZS8, MARION ISLANDS (News). As warned last week, BEWARE OF PIRATE ACTIVITY!
The ZS8T Web states, "The ZS8T team would like to report that all DX posts
posted on Feb. 2 are 100% bogus. Petrus wasn't operating that day at all.
We would also like to inform the Ham Radio Community that 14.300.00 is NOT
ZS8T's operating frequency, and that he will tune any other legal clean
freq. to operate on 20m." Also, mentioned this week (on February 7th),
(edited) "QSL cards for ZS8T are ready to be printed next week. We are
proud to present the card which will be received by all stations who
managed to contact Petrus on Marion Island. The card has been designed
by Stan, SQ8X, and will be printed/sponsored by Emil, LZ3HI. We expect
first cards to be sent as soon as mid February." The QSL can be viewed

Pictures on the QSL were taken by Nico de Buyrn (another scientist
working on Marion Island) who has been generously contributing to the ZS8T
site several times. For updates and official announcements of the ZS8T
