ZS8T - Marion Island

The following news has just been received from the ZS8T team

ZS8 Mission Control: the Red Taxi has landed

Good news for the last day of March. Thanks to suitable weather conditions, SA Agulhas (aka 'Red Taxi') reached Marion Island today in the early hours without any difficulties. This means Petrus ZS8T is now at Marion Island, where this will be his QTH for at least 12 months.

We’d like to remind you that the current research team scheduled for 2008/2009 (including its leader - Petrus ZS8T) is overloaded with work which has to be completed in the next few weeks. This is why ZS8T’s activity won’t start earlier than the end of April.

With regards to the above, please keep in mind, especially on April 1st, when false spots may hit dx-clusters leading to chaos and misunderstandings (as has already happened with previous Petrus’ activity from Bouvet Isl).

The beginning of ZS8T’s activity will be announced only at ZS8T.net website as a confirmation you may start chasing one of the most wanted DXCC entities - Marion Island.

*We hope to have the first pictures of Marion Island (from Petrus) as soon as possible.

UPDATE : ZS8T spotted today at 16:49z on 14.255.00 was a fake of course…
