remain active with ZS8T for the remainder of his stay on Marion Island."

Petrus, ZS8T, has unveiled some more details about his operation from Marion Island in an interview which has been available this past week thanks to the South Africa Amateur Radio League (SARL). He states that he will be there three months before leaving and plans to be active as much as
