      Press Release #3

      Posted: 21 Aug 2008 03:14 PM CDT

      In April, Petrus ZS6GCM arrived on Marion Island to begin a year of 
work. Sometime in May he erected the SteppIR vertical he took along and ran 
into a few difficulties. He did make one contact during the month but 
efforts to resolve these difficulties were unsuccessful and Petrus' work 
commitments impeded our efforts to communicate via other methods with 
Petrus.

      It has been over two months since we have heard from Petrus and are as 
much in the dark as the DX Community as to his plans.

      At this point we are at a loss why Petrus has not been able to find 
time to put ZS8T on the air, he certainly made the efforts to obtain 
permissions and training before leaving for the Island. We must assume his 
job as administrator to the scientific community was much more than he 
contemplated. Petrus is on Marion Island for 7 more months.

      If and when Petrus surfaces we will inform the DX Community. We are as 
disappointed as you.
