============================================
March 18, 2008:
Bouvet Island, Petrus Kritzinger ZS6GCM sets out to yet another unique
amateur radio venture that many DX'ers around the world can only dream
about. Petrus will be QRV from Marion Island #6 on the DX Magazine 2007
Most Wanted List as ZS8T. ZS8T is expected to be QRV by May 2008
dependent on work load.
Building on the success of the 3Y0E Bouvet Island operation, Petrus
wanted to take his amateur radio activity to the next level. Having more
time to effectively plan the operation from Marion Island as ZS8T work
began to set a team together that could rise above the high standards
that were set during the 3Y0E Bouvet Island operation. The ZS8T team
consists of the following people:
- Press Officer/Logistical Support - Rhy ZS6DXB.
- Finance/Logistical Support - Don N1DG.
- Finance Support - Tom N4XP.
- QSL manager - Emil LZ3HI.
- Website construction - Christian DL6KAC.
- Website construction - Col MM0NDX.
- ZS8T.net's design and graphics - Stan SQ8X.
One of the first tasks was to start work on a website that could take
DX'pedition websites to a new standard. Chris DL6KAC, Col MM0NDX and
Stan SQ8X really stood up to the challenge and created an interactive
website that will change the future of DXpedition websites. The team has
built in a unique news cluster into the site that you can subscribe to
that will enable you to receive all the latest news from the team behind
ZS8T direct. Please register to the website on the following link:
zs8t.net/newsletter/
- The second challenge was to obtain better radio gear that was used
during 3Y0E. The ZS8T team is proud to announce the following principle
sponsors to the ZS8T operation; these principal sponsors were strategic
in getting the hardware needed for ZS8T. Without these sponsors ZS8T
would never off made it out of the harbor...
- ICOM America donated an IC7000.
- Spiderbeam donated a 5 band HD yagi.
- NCDXF donated funds to obtain an Ameritron AL80 Amplifier, with a
SteppIR Vertical.
- Tigertronics donated a Signalink USB digital interface.
- Mr. Emil LZ3HI at Gold Print Services donated all QSL cards and QSL
management services.
- INDEXA, GDXF, GMDX, EUDXF, Chiltern DX Club, Clipperton DX Club,
5B4WN.com, David Topp W5BXX, Mile Hi DXA, Aurum Telemedia, Funkamateur,
Passau DX Club, Danish DX Group, DXXE and EUDXF made financial donations
to offset costs.
- Donations from kind individuals during 3Y0E, we are pleased to
announce some of that money helped offset the cost of radio equipment
now being used on Marion Island. It also greatly assisted with shipping
costs to South Africa.
The team behind ZS8T would like to thank each and every organization and
individual that has contributed to date in making the operation a full
success.
Petrus ZS6GCM has also undergone extensive training and will be active
on the following bands 160, 80, 40, 30, 20, 17, 12 and 10 meters. He
will be active on the following modes: SSB, CW and RTTY. A detailed
timetable with frequencies and modes will be made available closer to
the QRV date. Petrus will also be communicating with Rhy ZS6DXB on a
regular basis, and you can expect regular updates with photos and even
the possibility of videos from the Island as the year progresses. ZS8T
will be uploaded to LOTW on completion of the operation.
Without any further ado please join us on a life changing journey to
Marion Island, official website address: http://zs8t.net/ . Within
ZS8T.net you will find an abundance of information, discussions,
images/movies and enough viewing to entice you into working Petrus. The
entire ZS8T Team would be delighted if you joined us in following Petrus
by subscribing to the RSS-feed at zs8t.net/feed/ or our ZS8T-newsletter
at zs8t.net/newsletter/ [SQ8X]
