* Petrus has already undergone a full circle walk around the Island
with one of the research scientists and has been out of base camp
for the past week.
* The team is currently on cleaning duty since the takeover and is
now cleaning the entire camp - furthermore it is business as usual

* Petrus is planning on starting construction of the antennas this
week and will be *QRV as ZS8T by May 9th, 2008.*

system on Marion Island is working beyond expectations to date, so

during the Bouvet Island 3Y0E operation.
